Different from traditional research on the mind-body problem often
discussed from an epistemological viewpoint, which assumes that
mental processes are internal to the person, this book demonstrates
the crucial role of contextual relevance in the workings of the
mind and illustrates how mind emerges from the individual's
interactions with her physical, social, and cultural environments.
It also develops the interpersonal and social aspects of embodied
mind. The body that creates meaning is not only an emotional,
kinesthetic, and aesthetically experiencing body; the body that
creates meaning is a social body. It suggests that mind-body
relations are not only achieved through the interaction between our
own mind and body, but by other minds in our intersubjective
interactions. It is related to epistemology, metaphysics, ethics,
value theory, action theory, and the philosophies of mind, science,
logic, and technology. The readership may include graduate and
undergraduate students studying philosophy, law, political science,
sociology, psychology, etc., educators, researchers, scholars, and
anyone who shows an interest in philosophy.
