Description xvii, 181 pages ; 22 cm Series The Jerusalem-Harvard lectures Jerusalem-Harvard lectures. Contents The proper study of man -- Folk psychology as an instrument of culture -- Entry into meaning -- Autobiography and self Summary Jerome Bruner argues that the cognitive revolution, with its current fixation on mind as "information processor;" has led psychology away from the deeper objective of understanding mind as a creator of meanings. Only by breaking out of the limitations imposed by a computational model of mind can we grasp the special interaction through which mind both constitutes and is constituted by culture. - Publisher Analysis Cognitive psychology Notes Includes indexes Bibliography Bibliographical references (pages 141-170) and index Subject Cognitive psychology -- History.
