Morality for Humans

Ethical Understanding from the Perspective of Cognitive Science

2015

EN

"A welcome renewal and defense of John Dewey's ethical naturalism, which Johnson claims is the only morality 'fit for actual human beings.'" — Notre Dame Philosophical ReviewsWhat is the difference between right and wrong? This is no easy question to answer, yet we constantly try to make it so, frequently appealing to absolutes, whether drawn from God, universal reason, or societal authority. Combining cognitive science with a pragmatist philosophical frame...

Embodied Mind, Meaning, and Reason

How Our Bodies Give Rise to Understanding

2017

EN

Mark Johnson is one of the great thinkers of our time on how the body shapes the mind. This book brings together a selection of essays from the past two decades that build a powerful argument that any scientifically and philosophically satisfactory view of mind and thought must ultimately explain how bodily perception and action give rise to cognition, meaning, language, action, and values.A brief account of Johnson's own intellectual journey, through which we track some of the mos...

The Bodily Basis of Meaning, Imagination, and Reason

2013

EN

An exploration of the central role the human imagination plays in all meaning, understanding, and reasoning."There are books . . . which carefully, delightfully, and genuinely turn your head inside out. This is one of them. It ranges over some central issues in Western philosophy and begins the long overdue job of giving us a radically new account of meaning, rationality, and objectivity." — San Francisco Chronicle...

Moral Imagination

Implications of Cognitive Science for Ethics

2014

EN

Using path-breaking discoveries of cognitive science, Mark Johnson argues that humans are fundamentally imaginative moral animals, challenging the view that morality is simply a system of universal laws dictated by reason. According to the Western moral tradition, we make ethical decisions by applying universal laws to concrete situations. But Johnson shows how research in cognitive science undermines this view and reveals that imagination has an essential role in ethical deliberation.

The Aesthetics of Meaning and Thought

The Bodily Roots of Philosophy, Science, Morality, and Art

2018

EN

All too often, we think of our minds and bodies separately. The reality couldn't be more different: the fundamental fact about our mind is that it is embodied. We have a deep visceral, emotional, and qualitative relationship to the world—and any scientifically and philosophically satisfactory view of the mind must take into account the ways that cognition, meaning, language, action, and values are grounded in and shaped by that embodiment.This book gathers the best of philosopher Ma...
