Reviews

If one assumes the author's task is to describe various competences of a man, the book can be seen as a concept of how particular facilities and competencies form the 'glamour of cooperation' that enables a man to function in natural and social environments. Then the cooperation category can refer to both - the way all these facilities cooperate, and how cooperation between people is organised in its cognitive, communicational and moral aspects. I highly recommend the unique collection of Szymon Wrobel's essays Grammar and Glamour of Cooperation. Lectures on the Philosophy of Mind, Language and Action as an excellent introduction to contemporary debates in cognitive science. (Professor Zbyslaw Muszynski , Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of Lublin (Poland))
