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.
