Acts of Meaning (Four Lectures on Mind and Culture - Jerusalem-Harvard Lectures)

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. - Publisher.
