The Renaissance Extended Mind explores the parallels and contrasts
between current philosophical notions of the mind as extended
across brain, body and world, and analogous notions in literary,
philosophical, and scientific texts circulating between the
fifteenth century and early-seventeenth century.
This book brings together 11 essays by international specialists in
Victorian culture and modernism and provides a general and
period-specific introduction to distributed cognition and the
cognitive humanities. The essays revitalise our reading of
Victorian and modernist works in the fields of history of
technology, science and medicine, material culture, philosophy, art
and literary studies by bringing to bear recent insights in
cognitive science and philosophy of mind on the ways in which
cognition is distributed across brain, body and world.
This collection brings together 14 essays by international
specialists in Medieval and Renaissance culture and provides a
general and a period-specific introduction to distributed cognition
and the cognitive humanities. The essays bring recent insights in
cognitive science and philosophy of mind to bear on how cognition
is seen as distributed across brain, body and world. The volume
includes essays on law, history, drama, literature, art, music,
philosophy, science and medicine, covering topics such as the mind,
life and soul; the body and environment; the emotions; language and
linguistic theories; theory of mind and interaction theory; the
self and subjectivity; social, material and conceptual
environments; the memory arts, orality and literacy; and literature
and the arts.
Revitalising our reading of 18th century works specifically in the
fields of the history of the book, literary studies, material
culture, art history, philosophy, technology, science and medicine,
this volume brings recent insights in cognitive science and
philosophy of mind to bear on the distributed nature of cognition.
Collectively, the essays show how the particular range of
sociocultural and technological contexts of the time fostered and
reflected particular notions of distributed cognition.
This collection explores how cognition is explicitly or implicitly
conceived of as distributed across brain, body and world in Greek
and Roman technology, science, medicine, material culture,
philosophy and literary studies. A range of models emerge, which
vary both in terms of whether cognition is just embodied or
involves tools or objects in the world. As many of the texts and
practices discussed have influenced Western European society and
culture, this collection reveals the historical foundations of our
theoretical and practical attempts to comprehend the distributed
nature of human cognition.
