Abstract

This paper considers theories of cognition and consciousness in four traditions: neuroscience, cognitive science, activity theory and the distributed cognition approach. It is most concerned with social theories of consciousness---activity theory and distributed cognition---but briefly considers biological and computational models as a foil or backdrop against which the social theories stand out more clearly.
