Description

Shaun Gallagher presents a ground-breaking interdisciplinary account of human action, bringing out its essentially social dimension.

He explores and synthesizes the different approaches of action theory, social cognition, and critical social theory.

He shows that in order to understand human agency and the aspects of mind that are associated with it, we need to grasp the crucial role of context or circumstance in action, and the normative constraints of social andcultural practices.

He also investigates issues concerning social cognition and embodied intersubjective interaction, including direct social perception and the role of narrative and communicative practices from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Gallagher thereby brings together embodied and enactiveapproaches to action for the first time in this book and, in developing an alternative to standard conceptions of understanding others, he bridges social cognition and critical social theory, drawing out the implications for recognition, autonomy, and justice.
