Studies in Applied Philosophy, Epistemology and Rational Ethics

Baicchi, Annalisa; Digonnet, Rémi; Sandford, Jodi L.

The book illustrates how the human ability to adapt to the environment and interact with it can explain our linguistic representation of the world as constrained by our bodies and sensory perception. The different chapters discuss philosophical, scientific, and linguistic perspectives on embodiment and body perception, highlighting the core mechanisms humans employ to acquire knowledge of reality. These processes are based on sensory experience and interaction through communication.
