Description: "This book explores how people's subjective, felt experiences of their bodies in action provide part of the fundamental grounding for human cognition and language. Embodiment and Cognitive Science describes the abundance of empirical evidence from many disciplines, including work on perception, concepts, imagery and reasoning, language and communication, cognitive development, and emotions and consciousness, that support the idea that the mind is embodied."--Jacket.
