Biography

Lawrence Shapiro is the Berent Enç Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA. The American Philosophical Association awarded his book Embodied Cognition the Gittler Award for outstanding contribution in the field of philosophy of the social sciences (second edition 2019, Routledge).

Shannon Spaulding is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Oklahoma State University, USA. Her research focuses on social cognition, imagination, and embodied cognition. She is the author of the book How We Understand Others: Philosophy and Social Cognition (Routledge 2018).

Praise for the First Edition:

"With this collection of essays, written by active researchers based in the US and Europe, Shapiro provides an up-to-date description of the theory’s historical roots and philosophical underpinnings, along with supporting empirical evidence from human studies employing cognitive tasks and neuroimaging. … Given the fact that research in this area cuts across multiple disciplines - including philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, cognitive science, robotics, and artificial intelligence - and is rapidly expanding, this is a timely and important work for scholars. … Summing Up: Highly recommended." - K. G. Akers, CHOICE

"This excellent collection arrives at a most appropriate time in the history of cognitive science. The editor’s choice of topics and contributors is skillful, and remarkably - given how difficult these topics can become - the chapters will be accessible to specialists and non-specialists alike." - Gordon Bermant, University of Pennsylvania, USA

"This is an essential collection for researchers working in any area of cognitive science, and one that transitions embodied cognition from its position as a reactionary discipline to a research programme in its own right. I expect this volume will act as a springboard for exciting new directions in teaching and research." - Stefan Linquist, University of Guelph, Canada

"This Handbook is a landmark in the embodied cognition field. It stands as a singular introduction to the methods and commitments of embodied cognition across a wide array of topics, with original chapters by some of the most prominent philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists at work today." - Elliott Sober, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA

"Unparalleled in its accessibility and breadth of coverage, this volume serves as a perfect introduction to embodied cognition while also being enormously useful to experts. It includes cutting-edge ideas, illuminating reviews of standard positions and theoretical controversies, and a plethora of specific applications across the gamut of cognition, though always with an eye on the big picture." - Dan Ryder, University of British Columbia - Okanagan, Canada
