Analytic Philosophy and 4E CognitionEdition 1

This volume represents the first comprehensive collection of essays dedicated to exploring the conceptual and methodological intersections and tensions between analytic philosophy and the embodied–embedded approach to cognitive science, commonly referred to as "e-cognition."

Following an introductory chapter by the editor, which situates the discussion within its broader philosophical landscape, the contributors address a range of themes that traverse both analytic philosophy and 4E-cognition. These include skillful coping, habit formation, the nature and status of representations, consciousness, communication, and the social and political implications of embodied and situated approaches. The volume also examines how various theoretical traditions—such as ecological psychology, teleosemantics, enactivism, the Pittsburgh School, and intentional realism—engage with and apply these ideas.

Analytic Philosophy and 4E Cognition: Conceptual Analysis, Embodiment, and Situatedness will appeal to advanced students and scholars in analytic philosophy, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of psychology, as well as those working in cognitive science with an interest in embodied and situated cognition.
