In Certainty in Action, Daniele Moyal-Sharrock describes how her
encounter with Wittgenstein overturned her previous assumptions
that the mind is a product of brain activity and that thought,
consciousness, the will, feelings, memories, knowledge and language
are stored and processed in the brain, by the brain. She shows how
Wittgenstein enables us to veer away from this brain-centred view
of intelligence and behaviour to a person-centred view focusing on
ways of acting that are both diversely embedded across forms of
human life and universally embedded in a single human form of life.
The book traces the radical importance of action as the cohesive
thread weaving through Wittgenstein's philosophy, and shows how
certainty intertwines with it to produce new ways of engaging in
epistemology, the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of
language. This selection of Moyal-Sharrock's essays vividly
illustrates some of the ways in which Wittgenstein's pioneering
enactivism has impacted - and can further impact - not only
philosophy, but also neighbouring disciplines such as linguistics,
psychology, primatology, evolutionary psychology and anthropology.
Certainty in Action is essential reading for students and
researchers of these disciplines, and for anyone interested in
getting a grasp of Wittgenstein's lasting genius and influence.
