Reviews

The ten sections and forty-eight contributions of this handsomely produced handbook explore both these foundational questions about the nature of cognition and embodiment and the applications of 4E perspectives to social cognition, language and culture and specific applications in, for example, psychopathology and aesthetics. Especially commendable is the inclusion of critical notes which offer criticisms of the contributions in each chapter from exponents of the mainstream tradition. This enables a real sense of dialogue both between post-representationalists and the mainstream and from within the variously ambitious forms of 4E-Cognition. * Ian Ground, Research Fellow in Philosophy, University of Hertfordshire, and Vice-President of the British Wittgenstein Society, Times Literary Supplement *


The essays in this compilation look at how embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended (i.e., 4E) cognition can be conceptualized in relation to modern understanding of cognitive science. The collection does a good job of highlighting the discourse concerning this relatively new area of psychology, because the contributors differ in the degree to which they believe 4E cognition can be incorporated into or build on more traditional models. This book is written specifically for scholars at the PhD level, and it will be appropriate for those who have a strong background in philosophy, neuroscience, and cognitive psychology. -- CHOICE
