      abstract = {This book mainly focuses on the widely distributed nature  of computational tools, models, and methods, ultimately  related to the current importance of computational machines  as mediators of cognition. An entirely new eco-cognitive  approach to computation is offered, to underline the  question of the overwhelming cognitive domestication of  ignorant entities, which is persistently at work in our  current societies. Eco-cognitive computationalism does not  aim at furnishing an ultimate and static definition of the  concepts of information, cognition, and computation,  instead, it intends, by respecting their historical and  dynamical character, to propose an intellectual framework  that depicts how we can understand their forms of  "emergence" and the modification of their meanings, also  dealing with impressive unconventional non-digital cases.  The new proposed perspective also leads to a clear  description of the divergence between weak and strong  levels of creative "abductive" hypothetical cognition: weak  accomplishments are related to "locked abductive  strategies", typical of computational machines, and deep  creativity is instead related to "unlocked abductive  strategies", which characterize human cognizers, who  benefit from the so-called "eco-cognitive openness."},
