✦ Synopsis

Abstract

To develop greater coherence, psychology must develop its macro and integrative approaches to the mind. In this illuminating paper, Henriques (this issue) outlines the kind of thinking that is needed. He skillfully illuminates the levels of emergence of mind from the material world and argues that the recursive self‐regulative abilities of self‐awareness set us apart from other animals. The interaction between an evolved mind, adapted to pursue strategic goals, while also being phenotypically shaped by both environment and our recently evolved cognitive competencies, is a core focus of psychology. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract I locate the discontinuity between humans and other animals a bit differently than Henriques (this issue)—in metarepresentational abilities. However, I do think that the justification process might have played a critical role in the development of these metarepresentational abilities. ©
