Introduction

Jay Schulkin

pp. 1-24

This book is about contemporary philosophical and neuroscientific perspectives on action, perception, and cognition as they are 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 undergirded and interpenetrated by embodied and embedded processes.
