Sean Silver teaches the literature and culture of the British Enlightenment. Related interests include complex systems, the history of science, the origins of the museum, cognitive studies, and the history of ideas and craft practices. He is the author of The Mind Is a Collection, which traces the history of our most prevalent mental models. The book is the exhibit catalogue of a virtual museum, www.mindisacollection.org, and he is now working on a cultural history of complexity, a particularly modern way of thinking about the world.
