摘要:AVANT editors and co-workers had a chance to meet Mark Rowlands in Toruń, Poland a year ago in 2011. He gave two talks at Philosophers' Rally, the first one on "Intentionality and the Extended Mind" (involving the discus-sion of his latest book The New Science of The Mind: From Extended Mind to Embodied Phenomenology, 2010) and the second – less formal, on his The Philosopher and the Wolf (2008) me-moirs. Professo r Rowlands is certainly a man of many (philosophical) interests. His works may be divided into three cate-gories: the philosophy of the mind and cognitive science (starting from Super-venience and Materialism (1995) and The Nature Of Consciousness (2001), followed by the 2006 and 2010 books already mentioned), ethics, the moral status of non-human animals and problems of natural environment (Animal Rights (1998), The Environmental Crisis (2000) and Animals Like Us (2002)), and broadly construed cultural criticism and philosophy 101-style books (The Philosopher at the End of the Universe (2003), Everything I Know I Learned fro m TV (2005) and Fame (2008)). Rowland's article Representing without Representations published in this issue is related to his earlier book, Body Language (2006).
