The first half of this text argues that physicalism cannot account for consciousness, and hence cannot be true. The second half explores and defends Russellian monism, a radical alternative to both physicalism and dualism. The view that emerges combines panpsychism with the view that the universe as a whole is fundamental.

Le corps humain a été mis en récit dans la littérature de façons diverses, offrant chaque fois les signes d'une logique corporelle particulière. Deux logiques corporelles sont mises en regard dans cet ouvrage. L'une nous est coutumière : elle organise le corps en fonction de la peau, de ses ouvertures et du rapport interne-externe. C'est le « corps-enveloppe ». L'autre est la logique du « corps articulaire ». Les descriptions de blessures offrent des indices importants : dans l'Iliade, Énée est atteint à la hanche, précisément à la jonction du fémur et de l'os du bassin ; dans Beowulf, le héros disloque l'épaule de Grendel, causant la rupture des tendons ; dans le Lancelot de Chrétien de Troyes, le chevalier est fendu à la jointure du cou et de l'épaule. Autant de précisions qui montrent que le corps a été pensé à certains moments historiques en fonction de ses articulations, lesquelles étaient perçues comme vitales et signifiantes. La logique du corps articulaire fait jouer un rôle primordial à la mobilité et à la sensation du mouvement. Le héros n'est pas seulement le plus rapide, il est celui dont la capacité sensorielle motrice est la plus grande. Le forgeron divin Héphaistos dans l'Iliade et le dieu Hermès, inventeur du feu dans l'Hymne homérique à Hermès, sont capables de créer grâce à une motricité hors normes. Cette façon de penser le corps a ensuite disparu avec l'avènement de la dichotomie corps-âme, mais sa trace reste néanmoins présente dans certains textes fondamentaux de la culture occidentale.

In this provocative study, Robert Cummins takes on philosophers, both old and new, who pursue the question of mental representation as an abstraction, apart from the constraints of any particular theory or framework. Cummins asserts that mental representation is, in fact, a problem in the philosophy of science, a theoretical assumption that serves different explanatory roles within the different contexts of commonsense or "folk" psychology, orthodox computation, connectionism, or neuroscience.Cummins looks at existing and traditional accounts by Locke, Fodor, Dretske, Millikan, and others of the nature of mental representation and evaluates these accounts within the context of orthodox computational theories of cognition. He proposes that popular accounts of mental representation are inconsistent with the empirical assumptions of these models, which require an account of representation like that involved in mathematical modeling. In the final chapter he considers how mental representation might look in a connectionist context.A Bradford Book.

Many philosophical approaches today seek to overcome the division between mind and body. If such projects succeed, then thinking is not restricted to the disembodied mind, but is in some sense done through the body. From a post-Cartesian perspective, then, ritual activities that discipline the body are not just thoughtless motions, but crucial parts of the way people think.Thinking Through Rituals explores religious ritual acts and their connection to meaning and truth, belief, memory, inquiry, worldview and ethics. Drawing on philosophers such as Foucault, Merleau-Ponty and W

In recent years there has been an increasing awareness that a comprehensive understanding of language, cognitive and affective processes, and social and interpersonal phenomena cannot be achieved without understanding the ways these processes are grounded in bodily states. The term 'embodiment' captures the common denominator of these developments, which come from several disciplinary perspectives ranging from neuroscience, cognitive science, social psychology, and affective sciences. For the first time, this volume brings together these varied developments under one umbrella and furnishes a comprehensive overview of this intellectual movement in the cognitive-behavioral sciences. The chapters review current work on relations of the body to thought, language use, emotion and social relationships as presented by internationally recognized experts in these areas.
