Sommario/riassunto

This book endeavors to fill the conceptual gap in theorizing about embodied cognition. The theories of mind and cognition which one could generally call "situated" or "embodied cognition" have gained much attention in the recent decades. However, it has been mostly phenomenology (Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, etc.), which has served as a philosophical background for their research program. The main goal of this book is to bring the philosophy of classical American pragmatism firmly into play. Although pragmatism has been arguably the first intellectual current which systematically built its theories of knowledge, mind and valuation upon the model of a bodily interaction between an organism and its environment, as the editors and authors argue, it has not been given sufficient attention in the debate and, consequently, its conceptual resources for enriching the embodied mind project are far from being exhausted. In this book, the authors propose concrete subject-areas in which the philosophy of pragmatism can be of help when dealing with particular problems the philosophy of the embodied mind nowadays faces - a prominent example being the inevitable tension between bodily situatedness and the potential universality of symbolic meaning.

Sommario/riassunto

Dans cet ouvrage, Naila Kabeer présente un éventail diversifié d'arguments, de constatations et de leçons tirées des publications sur le développement qui aident à expliquer pourquoi l'égalité entre les sexes mérite une attention particulière de la part des responsables des politiques, des praticiens, des chercheurs et d'autres interlocuteurs voués à la poursuite du développement favorable aux pauvres et axé sur l'humanité. Partout dans le monde, les femmes des ménages pauvres jouent un rôle plus crucial dans les activités génératrices de revenus et réductrices des dépenses que les femmes de m
