Discover the intriguing insights of Joëlle Proust in her thought-provoking work, Philosophy of Metacognition, published by Oxford University Press in 2015. This 380-page paperback delves into the complex nature of metacognition—the ability to self-evaluate one's cognitive performance. Proust challenges the conventional views by exploring whether metacognition stems from a mindreading capacity or if it is fundamentally based on informational processes. With a compelling argument that metacognition does not necessarily involve metarepresentations, she emphasizes its profound connection to mental agency. Ideal for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the philosophy of mind, this book is a must-read for those looking to deepen their understanding of cognitive processes.
