Title

Shared Cognition: Thinking As Social Practice

Abstract/Description

This volume is about a phenomenon that seems almost a contradiction in terms: cognition that is not bounded by the individual brain or mind. In most psychological theory, the social and the cognitive have engaged only peripherally, standing in a kind of figure-ground relationship to one another rather than truly interacting. This book aims to undo this figure-ground relationship between cognitive and social processes. In so doing, it looks beyond psychology to a number of allied disciplines that have traditionally taken a view of human phenomena that is less focused on the individual.
