Rethinking Commonsense Psychology
A Critique of Folk Psychology, Theory of Mind and Simulation
AvM. Ratcliffe
Inbunden, Engelska, 2006
1 094 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book offers arguments against the view that interpersonal understanding involves a 'folk' or 'commonsense' psychology, a view which Ratcliffe suggests is a theoretically motivated abstraction. His alternative account draws on phenomenology, neuroscience and developmental psychology, exploring patterned interactions in shared social situations.

Action, Perception and the Brain
Adaptation and Cephalic Expression
AvJay Schulkin,J. Schulkin
Inbunden, Engelska, 2012
551 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Theories of brain evolution stress communication and sociality are essential to our capacity to represent objects as intersubjectively accessible. How did we grow as a species to be able to recognize objects as common, as that which can also be seen in much the same way by others? Such constitution of intersubjectively accessible objects is bound up with our flexible and sophisticated capacities for social cognition understanding others and their desires, intentions, emotions, and moods which are crucial to the way human beings live.This book is about contemporary philosophical and neuroscientific perspectives on the relation of action, perception, and cognition as it is lived in embodied and socially embedded experience. This emphasis on embodiment and embeddedness is a change from traditional theories, which focused on isolated, representational, and conceptual cognition. In the new perspectives contained in our book, such 'pure' cognition is thought to be under-girded and interpenetrated by embodied and embedded processes.

AvZ. Radman
Inbunden, Engelska, 2012
551 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
A volume devoted explicitly to the subtle and multidimensional phenomenon of background knowing that has to be recognized as an important element of the triad mind-body-world.

Issues at the Intersection of Feminist Theory and Cognitive Science
AvRobyn Bluhm,Heidi Lene Maibomm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2012
1 094 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Going beyond the hype of recent fMRI 'findings', thisinterdisciplinary collection examines such questions as: Do women and men have significantly different brains? Do women empathize, while men systematize? Is there a 'feminine' ethics? What does brain research on intersex conditions tell us about sex and gender?
Nietzsche's Dynamic Metapsychology
This Uncanny Animal
AvR. Welshon
Inbunden, Engelska, 2014
551 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
An analysis and assessment of Nietzsche's metapsychology. Nietzsche is neither a dualist nor a physical reductionist about the mind. Instead, he is best interpreted as thinking that the mind is embodied and embedded in a larger natural and social environment with which it is dynamically engaged.
Embodiment, Emotion, and Cognition
AvMichelle Maiese
Inbunden, Engelska, 2010
567 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Beginning with the view that human consciousness is essentially embodied and that the way we consciously experience the world is structured by our bodily dynamics and surroundings, the book argues that emotions are a fundamental manifestation of our embodiment, and play a crucial role in self-consciousness, moral evaluation, and social cognition.
Rethinking Introspection
A Pluralist Approach to the First-Person Perspective
AvJ. Butler
Inbunden, Engelska, 2013
551 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Offering a pluralist framework for understanding the nature, scope, and limits of self-knowledge from the first-person perspective, Rethinking Introspection argues that, contrary to common misconceptions, introspection does not operate through inner perception but rather develops out of a diverse array of mental states and cognitive processes.
Enactive Cognition at the Edge of Sense-Making
Making Sense of Non-Sense
AvTom Froese,M. Cappuciom. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2014
1 094 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The enactive approach replaces the classical computer metaphor of mind with emphasis on embodiment and social interaction as the sources of our goals and concerns. Researchers from a range of disciplines unite to address the challenge of how to account for the more uniquely human aspects of cognition, including the abstract and the nonsensical.
Neuroscience, Neurophilosophy and Pragmatism
Brains at Work with the World
AvT. Solymosi,J. Shook
Inbunden, Engelska, 2014
551 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Bringing together active neuroscientists, neurophilosophers, and scholars this volume considers the prospects of a neuroscientifically-informed pragmatism and a pragmatically-informed neuroscience on issues ranging from the nature of mental life to the implications of neuroscience for education and ethics.
Challenging the Phenomena of Technology
AvM. Hayler
Inbunden, Engelska, 2015
551 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
What is 'technology'? What does it help us to do? What does it force us to consider about our experience of being in the world?In Challenging the Phenomena of Technology, technology is positioned as an experience with specific features, rather than as a class of objects, and this enables a reflection on the ways in which amateurs and experts interact with the artefacts that all humans rely upon. Using e-readers, such as the Kindle and iPad, as a case study, Hayler argues that the use of technology is both more complicated and more human than public discussion often gives it credit for, forcing us to consider its impacts on perception, cognition, and what it means to know anything at all.
Normativity in Perception
AvMaxime Doyon,Thiemo Breyer
Inbunden, Engelska, 2015
986 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The ways in which human action and rationality are guided by norms are well documented in philosophy and neighboring disciplines. But how do norms shape the way we experience the world perceptually? The present volume explores this question and investigates the specific normativity inherent to perception.

1 133 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The Renaissance Extended Mind explores the parallels and contrasts between current philosophical notions of the mind as extended across brain, body and world, and analogous notions in literary, philosophical, and scientific texts circulating between the fifteenth century and early-seventeenth century.

Häftad, Engelska, 2007
551 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

Phenomenology of Musical Absorption
AvSimon Høffding
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
1 094 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book presents a detailed analysis of what it means to be absorbed in playing music. Based on interviews with one of the world’s leading classical ensembles, “The Danish String Quartet” (DSQ), it debunks the myth that experts cannot reflect while performing, but also shows that intense absorption is not something that can be achieved through will, intention, prediction or planning – it remains something individuals have to be receptive to. Based in the phenomenological tradition of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty as well as of Dan Zahavi and Shaun Gallagher, it lays out the conditions and essential structures of musical absorption. Employing the lived experience of the DSQ members, it also engages and challenges core ideas in phenomenology, philosophy of mind, enactivism, expertise studies, musical psychology, flow theory, aesthetics, dream and sleep studies, psychopathology and social ontology, and proposes a method that integrates phenomenology and cognitive science.
