1. Alva Noe ¨'s Out of Our Heads is a fascinating and stimulating book. The clarity of writing is unparalleled and the breadth of considerations is nothing short of impressive. Although an engagement with the empirical literature has now become common practice for philosophers interested in the nature of the mind, Noe ¨'s ability to juxtapose masterfully the empirical with the conceptual sets him apart from the rest. Out of Our Heads is a well-crafted interlacing of scientific and philosophical considerations that ultimately gives rise to a provocative picture of the human mind. In the eight chapters, preface, and epilogue that comprise the book, Noeadvances a plethora of interconnected theses. He calls for the adoption of a 'biological perspective,' provides empirical evidence in support of an enactive and externalist account of consciousness, and comments on the ways that language, technology, and tools extend our body schema (39). Furthermore, Noestresses the significance of habits and rejects an intellectualist picture of human existence. He also provides evidence against the conviction that our visual experience of the world is a grand illusion, and argues that the groundbreaking research conducted by Hubel and Wisel was governed by the idea that the 'brain is an information-processing device' (161). Finally, Noeinsists that the brain is necessary but not sufficient for experience. Although by no means exhaustive, the above list conveys the book's guiding theme: there is more to human experience than neural activity, or as Noeputs it, 'we are out of our heads' and 'already home in the environment' (xiii). To construe human nature in such a fashion is to call for drastic changes. Most importantly, the contention that neural activity is sufficient for consciousness must be abandoned, and the search for neural correlates must be rethought. Noe ¨, in fact, announces that 'Cartesian neuroscience has no empirical support for its basic assumption that conscious experience is an exhaustively neural phenomenon,' and
