Worlding the Brain: Neurocentrism, Cognition and the Challenge of the Arts and Humanities


Add your own review!

Overview

Moving beyond the neurohype of recent decades, Worlding the Brain introduces the concept of “worlding” as a new perspective to understand the inherent entanglement of brains/minds with their worldly environments, cultural practices, and social contexts. Worlding the Brain makes a case for the distinctive role of the humanities and arts in the research on brains and cognition and explores new forms of interdisciplinarity.
