Produktbeschreibung
The first systematic application of theories of distributed cognition to this historical period This collection brings together eleven essays by international specialists in Enlightenment and Romantic culture and provides a general and a period-specific introduction to distributed cognition and the cognitive humanities. The essays revitalise our reading of the era's works in the fields of archaeology, history, drama, literature, art, philosophy, science and medicine, bringing to bear recent insights in cognitive science and philosophy of mind on the ways in which cognition is distributed across brain, body and world. Collectively the essays in the book demonstrate the ways in which the particular range of sociocultural and technological contexts that existed during the long eighteenth century fostered and reflected particular notions of distributed cognition. Miranda Anderson is an Anniversary Fellow at the University of Stirling and an Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh. George Rousseau is Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Oxford. Michael Wheeler is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Stirling.
