I call this bullshit. He confuses cognitive
science with some sort of Neuroscience and/or
connectionist approaches.
Some broader working definition
of cognitive science is for example:

You see how much philosophy is behind.
David Woodruff Smith published the
paper in 2003? I don't think there are any
excuses for his nonsense definition.
Especially if one writes about pure form.
This is so idiotic.

explains some schemas, like the Aristotelan

And peng you get a guy talking pages and
pages about pure and form:
 "Pure" logic, ontology, and phenomenology

that is endangered now. Its predator are
abstractions on the computer like lambda

dead people would be interested in, like

   One can feel the dry swimming that is reported

   1950s was the possibility of computer modelling.
