Questions about whether selves actually exist or have an illusory status have been raised from perspectives as diverse as neuroscience, buddhism, and narrative theorythese and other issues motivate questions about how we understand, not only "the self", but also how we understand ourselves in social and cultural contextsin philosophy and some areas of cognitive science, the emphasis on embodied cognition has fostered a renewed interest in rethinking personal identity, mind-body dualism, and overly cartesian conceptions of selfpoststructuralist deconstructions of traditional metaphysical conceptions of subjectivity have led to debates about whether there are any grounds (moral if not metaphysical) for reconstructing the notion of selfin addition, advances in developmental psychology have pushed to the forefront questions about the ontogenetic origin of self-experience, while studies of psychopathology suggest that concepts like self and agency are central to explaining important aspects of pathological experiencewith respect to self-agency, similar questions arise in experimental psychologysee oxfam website for delivery information read morethe oxford handbook of the self is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that address questions in all of these areasoxfam bookshop tunbridge wells the oxford handbook of the self gallagher, shaun (ed) research on the topic of self has increased significantly in recent years across a number of disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, psychopathology, and neuroscience

This revised edition includes substantive introductions by evan thompson and eleanor rosch that clarify central arguments of the work and discuss and evaluate subsequent research that has expanded on the themes of the book, including the renewed theoretical and practical interest in buddhism and mindfulnessalthough enacted cognition lacks an absolute foundation, the book shows how that does not lead to either experiential or philosophical nihilismthrough this cross-fertilization of disparate fields of study, the embodied mind introduced a new form of cognitive science called "enaction," in which both the environment and first person experience are aspects of embodimentabove all, the book's arguments were powered by the conviction that the sciences of mind must encompass lived human experience and the possibilities for transformation inherent in human experiencehowever, enactive embodiment is not the grasping of an independent, outside world by a brain, a mind, or a self; rather it is the bringing forth of an interdependent world in and through embodied actionsee oxfam website for delivery information read moreit pioneered the connections between phenomenology and science and between buddhist practices and science-claims that have since become highly influentiala preface by jon kabat-zinn, the originator of the mindfulness-based stress reduction program, contextualizes the book and describes its influence on his life and workthis classic book, first published in , was one of the first to propose the "embodied cognition" approach in cognitive scienceoxfam bookshop preston a new edition of a classic work that originated the "embodied cognition" movement and was one of the first to link science and buddhist practices
