A Complex-Systems Perspective on the ``Computation vs. Dynamics'' Debate in Cognitive Science

I review the purported opposition between computational and dynamical approaches in cognitive science. I argue that both computation and dynamical notions will be necessary for a full explanatory account of cognition, and give a perspective on how recent research in complex systems can lead to a much needed rapprochement between computational and dynamical styles of explanation.
