Embodiment and Cognitive Science by Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book describes the many ways that the mind and body are closely interrelated, and how human thought and language are fundamentally linked to bodily action. The embodied nature of mind is explored through many topics, such as perception, thinking, language use, development, emotions, and consciousness. People's embodied experiences are critical to the ways they think and speak and, most generally, understand themselves, other people, and the world around them. This work provides a strong defense of the idea that embodied action is critical to the study of human cognition. | Embodiment and Cognitive Science by Raymond W.
