This book endeavors to fill the conceptual gap in theorizing about
embodied cognition. The theories of mind and cognition which one
could generally call "situated" or "embodied cognition" have gained
much attention in the recent decades. However, it has been mostly
phenomenology (Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, etc.), which has served as
a philosophical background for their research program. The main
goal of this book is to bring the philosophy of classical American
pragmatism firmly into play. Although pragmatism has been arguably
the first intellectual current which systematically built its
theories of knowledge, mind and valuation upon the model of a
bodily interaction between an organism and its environment, as the
editors and authors argue, it has not been given sufficient
attention in the debate and, consequently, its conceptual resources
for enriching the embodied mind project are far from being
exhausted. In this book, the authors propose concrete subject-areas
in which the philosophy of pragmatism can be of help when dealing
with particular problems the philosophy of the embodied mind
nowadays faces - a prominent example being the inevitable tension
between bodily situatedness and the potential universality of
symbolic meaning.
