- Double-weighted statement
- The unusually ambitious scope and highly interdisciplinary nature of Surfing Uncertainty justify double-weighting it. The book is a monumental contribution to philosophy (especially the philosophy of mind), neuroscience (especially theoretical neurobiology) and cognitive science. Its ambition is nothing less than a solution to the classical mind/body problem – explaining how “meat” thinks, perceives and feels. The book is the result of over 6 years’ work and has benefitted from a wide range of workshops and conferences, e.g. the Predictive Coding Workshop (Edinburgh), the UK Mind Network meeting (Oxford), the European Society for Philosophy and Psychology meetings.
