Based on a yearlong research project investigating the artful mind, hosted by Stanford University's Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences, this volume presents some of the latest and most original thinking on the nature of the coevolution of culture and cognition and how humans acquired cognitively modern minds. --CHOICE The Artful Mind...is full of provocative ideas that suggest avenues for future research.... The book is a great read, and a must have for those interested in creativity, or anyone who has ever wondered what is going on in the mind of the artist or the beholder of an artistic work. --Liane Gabora, Philosophical Psychology
