{"product_id":"of-a-different-mind","title":"Of a Different Mind","description":"\u003cb\u003eA new way to teach philosophy of mind and psychology that makes room for action-first views.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch of contemporary philosophical discourse of the mind is dominated by understanding the mind as a biological information processor, and it is thanks to its computational operations that we perceive, act intelligently, and think. By contrast, this novel textbook presents a view of the philosophy of mind where action, rather than thought, is the most fundamental thing a mind does. Erik Myin covers a broad range of action-based views—embodied, embedded, enacted, extended, and enculturated—while providing a thorough introduction to standard analytical philosophy of mind. Balancing historical perspectives with forward-looking pluralism, Myin tells a different story about the philosophy of mind that expands, rather than constrains, possibilities and provides a relevant blueprint for the next generation of thinkers in the field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers an innovative, agential view of the philosophy of mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrates coverage of historical thinking and contemporary developments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetails action-first views of the mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits undergraduate students in philosophy and psychology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57466637582709,"sku":"9780262052993","price":62.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780262052993.jpg?v=1785654695","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/of-a-different-mind","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
