The Bactra Review Cognition in the Wild
Anthropology is, in some ways, actually the worst of the social and
behavioral sciences on these questions. After all, it gave us Durkheim and
his school, with their notion that society literally has thoughts of
its own, independent of all its members. The other social sciences ignore
the issue of how collective cognition happens; this really does beg
all the important questions. Hutchins will, for the most part, spare us
that.
