Attidudes, Chaos and the Connectionist Mind is a broad ranging examination of attitudes: how form them; how we organized them towards otheres. This is good, if speculative, reading for those who are interested in how the mind works. This work is for those with a strong background in philosophy, psychology, sociology, and biology.
