Bodies and Other Objects is written for students, scholars and
anyone with an interest in embodied cognition - the claim that the
human mind cannot be understood without regard for the actions and
capacities of the body. The impulse to write this book was a
dissatisfaction with the inconsistent, and often shallow, use of
the term 'embodied cognition'. This text attempts to reframe
cognitive science with a unified theory of embodied cognition in
which sensorimotor elements provide the basis for cognition,
including symbolic exchanges that arise within a society of agents.
It draws ideas and evidence from experimental psychology,
neuroscience, philosophy and anthropology in reaching the
conclusion that human cognition is best understood as the means by
which exchanges within a constantly evolving network of skilful
bodies and objects are regulated so as to further human interests.
