She shows how Wittgenstein enables us to veer away from this brain-centred view of intelligence and behaviour to a person-centred view focusing on ways of acting that are both \u003ci\u003ediversely \u003c\/i\u003eembedded across forms of human life and\u003ci\u003e universally\u003c\/i\u003e embedded in a single human form of life. The book traces the radical importance of \u003ci\u003eaction\u003c\/i\u003e as the cohesive thread weaving through Wittgenstein's philosophy, and shows how \u003ci\u003ecertainty\u003c\/i\u003e intertwines with it to produce new ways of engaging in epistemology, the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This selection of Moyal-Sharrock's essays vividly illustrates some of the ways in which Wittgenstein's pioneering enactivism has impacted – and can further impact – not only philosophy, but also neighbouring disciplines such as linguistics, psychology, primatology, evolutionary psychology and anthropology. \u003ci\u003eCertainty in Action \u003c\/i\u003eis essential reading for students and researchers of these disciplines, and for anyone interested in getting a grasp of Wittgenstein's lasting genius and influence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226331500888,"sku":"9781350228894","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350228894.jpg?v=1770278459","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/certainty-in-action","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
