Analytic Philosophy and 4E Cognition

This volume is the first fully devoted to examining the conceptual and methodological relations and tensions between analytic philosophy and the embodied-embedded approach to cognitive science, or ‘e-cognition’.

After an introduction by the editor placing the topic in philosophical context, the contributors explore topics that cut across both analytic philosophy and e-cognition, including skillful coping, the status of representations and the nature of consciousness, considering at the same time how different theories within both traditions apply them, such as ecological psychology, teleosemantics, cognitivism, the Pittsburgh School, and intentional realism. Analytic Philosophy and E-Cognition: Conceptual Analysis, Embodiment and Situated Cognition will be of interest to upper level students and scholars in the areas of analytic philosophy, philosophy of mind and philosophy of psychology and particularly those studying embodied and situated cognition.
