About this book

Acts of Meaning: Four Lectures on Mind and Culture (The Jerusalem-Harvard Lectures) by Bruner, Jerome Seymour. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780674003613.

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.
