Beller, Bender, and Medin should be congratulated for their generous attempt at expressive academic therapy for troubled interdisciplinary relationships. In this essay, I suggest that a negative answer to the central question ("Should anthropology be part of cognitive science?") is not necessarily distressing, that in retrospect the breakup seems fairly predictable, and that disenchantment with the cognitive revolution is nothing new.
Beller、Bender 和 Medin 应该因其对困扰的跨学科关系进行富有表现力的学术治疗的慷慨尝试而受到祝贺。在本文中,我认为对中心问题(“人类学是否应该成为认知科学的一部分?”)的否定回答不一定令人痛苦,回想起来,这种分裂似乎是可以预测的,而且对认知革命的失望并不是什么新鲜事。
