Crippen and Schulkin make a convincing case that we are 'living ecologies'⁠—integrated, interdependent systems—not detached, isolated intellects. -- Louise Barrett, author of \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Brain: How Body and Environment Shape Animal and Human Minds\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMind Ecologies \u003c\/i\u003eis wide-ranging and timely both as a contribution to today's philosophy of cognitive science and as a reminder of historical antecedents.

We finally have a clear and detailed overview of how pragmatism anticipated many key ideas of the field of 4E cognition. One theme that stands out as particularly interesting and refreshing is the pragmatists' emphasis on the affective-evaluative and aesthetic dimension of perception and cognition. -- Giovanna Colombetti, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Feeling Body: Affective Science Meets the Enactive Mind\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessible for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students...Recommended. * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface and Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
