The Routledge Handbook of Embodied Cognition THE ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF EMBODIED COGNITION Embodied cognition is one of the foremost areas of study and research in philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology and cognitive science. The Routledge Handbook of Embodied Cognition is an outstanding guide and reference source to the key philosophers, topics and debates in this exciting subject and essential reading for any student and scholar of philosophy of mind and cognitive science. Comprising over thirty chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is divided into six parts: Historical underpinnings Perspectives on embodied cognition Applied embodied cognition: perception, language, and reasoning Applied embodied cognition: social and moral cognition and emotion Applied embodied cognition: memory, attention, and group cognition Meta-topics. The early chapters of the Handbook cover empirical and philosophical foundations of embodied cognition, focusing on Gibsonian and phenomenological approaches. Subsequent chapters cover additional, important themes common to work in embodied cognition, including embedded, extended and enactive cognition as well as chapters on embodied cognition and empirical research in perception, language, reasoning, social and moral cognition, emotion, consciousness, memory, and learning and development. Lawrence Shapiro is a professor in the Department of Philosophy, University of Wisconsin – Madison, USA. He has authored many articles spanning the range of philosophy of psychology. His most recent book, Embodied Cognition (Routledge, 2011), won the American Philosophical Association’s Joseph B. Gittler award in 2013. Routledge Handbooks in Philosophy Routledge Handbooks in Philosophy are state-of-the-art surveys of emerging, newly refreshed, and important fields in philosophy, providing accessible yet thorough assessments of key problems, themes, thinkers, and recent developments in research.

  • 1 the Mind-Body-Body Problem Robert
    1 The Mind-Body-Body Problem Robert Hanna and Evan Thompson∗ Theoria et Historia Scientiarum: International Journal for Interdisciplinary Studies 7 (1) (2003): 23-42. From the point of view of Husserl’s ontology, the traditional mind-body problem looks hopelessly simplistic. Not only must we deal with relations between mind— indeed consciousness, soul [psyche], spirit [human personhood]—and body. We must address different aspects of the body itself as living organism and as material thing. This body-body problem is suppressed in a Cartesian ontology that reduces the body to a mechanism in the sense of seventeenth-century physics, as Descartes sought to reduce all of physics to mechanics. —David Woodruff Smith1 It seems to me that post-Kripke, the most promising line of attack on the mind- body problem is to see whether any sense can be made of the idea that mental processes might be physical processes necessarily but not analytically. —Thomas Nagel2 ∗ We gratefully acknowledge the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, Tucson, which provided a grant for the support of this work.

  • Minding the Body Interacting Socially Through Embodied Action
    Linköping Studies in Science and Technology Dissertation No. 1112 Minding the Body Interacting socially through embodied action by Jessica Lindblom Department of Computer and Information Science Linköpings universitet SE-581 83 Linköping, Sweden Linköping 2007 © Jessica Lindblom 2007 Cover designed by Christine Olsson ISBN 978-91-85831-48-7 ISSN 0345-7524 Printed by UniTryck, Linköping 2007 Abstract This dissertation clarifies the role and relevance of the body in social interaction and cognition from an embodied cognitive science perspective. Theories of embodied cognition have during the past two decades offered a radical shift in explanations of the human mind, from traditional computationalism which considers cognition in terms of internal symbolic representations and computational processes, to emphasizing the way cognition is shaped by the body and its sensorimotor interaction with the surrounding social and material world. This thesis develops a framework for the embodied nature of social interaction and cognition, which is based on an interdisciplinary approach that ranges historically in time and across different disciplines. It includes work in cognitive science, artificial intelligence, phenomenology, ethology, developmental psychology, neuroscience, social psychology, linguistics, communication, and gesture studies. The theoretical framework presents a thorough and integrated understanding that supports and explains the embodied nature of social interaction and cognition. It is argued that embodiment is the part and parcel of social interaction and cognition in the most general and specific ways, in which dynamically embodied actions themselves have meaning and agency. The framework is illustrated by empirical work that provides some detailed observational fieldwork on embodied actions captured in three different episodes of spontaneous social interaction in situ.

  • The Conductor Model of Online Speech Modulation
    The Conductor Model of Online Speech Modulation Fred Cummins Department of Computer Science, University College Dublin [email protected] Abstract. Two observations about prosodic modulation are made. Firstly, many prosodic parameters co-vary when speaking style is altered, and a similar set of variables are affected in particular dysarthrias. Second, there is a need to span the gap between the phenomenologically sim- ple space of intentional speech control and the much higher dimensional space of manifest effects. A novel model of speech production, the Con- ductor, is proposed which posits a functional subsystem in speech pro- duction responsible for the sequencing and modulation of relatively in- variant elements. The ways in which the Conductor can modulate these elements are limited, as its domain of variation is hypothesized to be a relatively low-dimensional space. Some known functions of the cortico- striatal circuits are reviewed and are found to be likely candidates for implementation of the Conductor, suggesting that the model may be well grounded in plausible neurophysiology. Other speech production models which consider the role of the basal ganglia are considered, leading to some observations about the inextricable linkage of linguistic and motor elements in speech as actually produced. 1 The Co-Modulation of Some Prosodic Variables It is a remarkable fact that speakers appear to be able to change many aspects of their speech collectively, and others not at all. I focus here on those prosodic variables which are collectively affected by intentional changes to speaking style, and argue that they are governed by a single modulatory process, the ‘Con- ductor’.

  • Kierkegaard and the Funny by Eric Linus Kaplan a Dissertation
    Kierkegaard and the Funny By Eric Linus Kaplan A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Alva Noë, co-chair Professor Hubert Dreyfus, co-chair Professor Sean D. Kelly Professor Deniz Göktürk Summer 2017 Abstract Kierkegaard and the Funny by Eric Linus Kaplan Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy University of California, Berkeley Professor Alva Noë, co-chair Professor Hubert Dreyfus, co-chair This dissertation begins by addressing a puzzle that arises in academic analytic interpretations of Kierkegaard’s Concluding Unscientific Postscript. The puzzle arises when commentators try to paraphrase the book’s philosophical thesis “truth is subjectivity.” I resolve this puzzle by arguing that the motto “truth is subjectivity” is like a joke, and resists and invites paraphrase just as a joke does. The connection between joking and Kierkegaard’s philosophical practice is then deepened by giving a philosophical reconstruction of Kierkegaard's definition of joking as a way of responding to contradiction that is painless precisely because it sees the way out in mind. Kierkegaard’s account of joking and his account of his own philosophical project are used to mutually illuminate each other. The dissertation develops a phenomenology of retroactive temporality that explains how joking and subjective thinking work. I put forward an argument for why “existential humorism” is a valuable approach to life for Kierkegaard, but why it ultimately fails, and explain the relationship between comedy as a way of life and faith as a way of life, particularly as they both relate to risk.
