ReviewsThe body is "always there" in William James's famous phrase ... but this pervasiveness makes it harder, rather than easier, to understand the relation between body and self. This book extends the current focus on the importance of the body in philosophy of mind, using the recent surge in experimental studies of bodily awareness. In doing so, it provides the first cognitively-informed account of how, and perhaps even why, we are aware of our body as our own. It is arare and compelling example of how combining conceptual analysis and experimental data can advance cognitive theory.

SynopsisOur own body seems to be the object that we know the best for we constantly receive a flow of internal information about it. Yet bodily awareness has attracted little attention in the literature. Mind the Body is the first comprehensive treatment of bodily awareness. Frdrique de Vignemont seeks to answer questions such as: how do I perceive my body? How do I perceive other people's bodies? Can I really feel your pain? What makes me feel this specific body is my own? Why do I care about it? To what extent can I feel an avatar's body as my own? To answer these questions, we need a better understanding of the various aspects of bodily self-awareness, including the spatiality of bodily sensations, their multimodality, their role in social cognition, their relation to action, and to self-defence. This volume combines philosophical analysis with recent experimental results from cognitive science, leading us to question some of our most basic intuitions., Mind the Body is the first comprehensive treatment of bodily awareness. It explores questions such as: How do I perceive my body? What makes me feel this specific body is my own? These questions are vividly illustrated with examples of bodily illusions and puzzling bodily disorders, which lead us to question some of our most basic intuitions., Our own body seems to be the object that we know the best for we constantly receive a flow of internal information about it.
