Worth reading simply for the quality of McCarthy's writing. And that he can write about language and the mind without mentioning fMRI's, 'the part of the brain that ___' and 'emerging neuroscience'.
- ktRolster 10y agoYeah, I hope my technical writing skill one day matches his.
- metaphorm 10y agoI found it wonderful that McCarthy has avoided conflating the brain with the mind. I get very frustrated trying to read through the literature on this subject (a passion of mine, was my career track before I dropped out of academia and learned how to program) and seeing the cult of the brain taking over. McCarthy is not so encumbered with materialist scientism. He is willing and able to discuss the mind in all its ethereal glory.
