The Autonomous Individual

A Praxeological Enactivist Account

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book advances a new theory of what it means to be an autonomous individual with free will and an authentic self. It synthesizes the new "action turn" from 4E cognitive science with the new "practice turn" from the social sciences to develop a new perspective on our self-interpretation as autonomous individuals.
