About this book

11 essays by international specialists open up the research field of distributed cognition and the cognitive humanities in the Enlightenment and Romantic periods

The third book in an ambitious four-volume set looking at distributed cognition in the history of thought
Brings together essays on literature, history, philosophy, art, archaeology, medicine, science and material culture
Includes a general and a period-specific introduction to distributed cognition and the cognitive humanities
For students and scholars in Enlightenment and Romantic studies, cognitive humanities and philosophy of mind
Draws out what was distinctive about Enlightenment and Romantic insights into the cognitive roles of the body and environment
Examines how humanities topics are affected by new insights from the cognitive sciences

This collection explores how Enlightenment and Romantic practices and ideas reveal the diverse ways that cognition was seen as spread over brain, body and world in the long 18th century.
