#PhiMiSci published a new standalone article: In “What active inference still can’t do: The (frame) problem that just won’t go away”, Darius Parvizi-Wayne argues that both new and old attempts to solve the frame problem on the basis of the active inference framework are explanatorily inadequate.

'The Idealized Mind: From Model-based Science to Cognitive Science' published by MIT Press. Claims: models of the mind are idealized models; this is consistent with scientific realism; yet, it blocks realism about neural representation and neural computation based on evidence from neuroscience.
