Ronald Giere's Distributed Cognition in Thinking

Abstract

Ronald N. Giere was one of the most important promoters of the cognitive approach to philosophy of science from his work Explaining Science: A Cognitive Approach (1988), within the framework of the naturalizing program in philosophy. For Giere, the idea of distributed cognition acquires special relevance from the work of the cognitive anthropologist Edwin Hutchins in Cognition in the Wild (1995). The objective of this approach to Giere’s thought is to address some of the ideas that are in the background of the publications whose hardcore is distributed cognition, such as epistemic culture, cognition and mind, agency, the relationship between the cognitive and the social and computation.
