Reviews
Jamie Redgate's Wallace and I is a ground breaking study of Wallace's vision of cognition. He demonstrates that Wallace's posthumanist leanings in the context of neuroscience rub up against a sustained adherence to Cartesian conceptions of the self. As such, Wallace's work proposes a model of cognition wherein the brain produces a quasi-Cartesian mind that is embodied and indelibly tied to and wholly dependent upon the individual's physical body. The book makes a genuinely innovative contribution to our understanding of Wallace's work, one that will be immensely clarifying to future Wallace scholars. Marshall Boswell, Rhodes College
