She shows how Wittgenstein enables us to veer away from this brain-centred view of intelligence and behaviour to a person-centred view focusing on ways of acting that are both \u003ci\u003ediversely\u003c\/i\u003eembedded across forms of human life and\u003ci\u003e universally\u003c\/i\u003e embedded in a single human form of life. The book traces the radical importance of \u003ci\u003eaction\u003c\/i\u003e as the cohesive thread weaving through Wittgenstein's philosophy, and shows how \u003ci\u003ecertainty\u003c\/i\u003e intertwines with it to produce new ways of engaging in epistemology, the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This selection of Moyal-Sharrock's essays vividly illustrates some of the ways in which Wittgenstein's pioneering enactivism has impacted - and can further impact - not only philosophy, but also neighbouring disciplines such as linguistics, psychology, primatology, evolutionary psychology and anthropology. \u003ci\u003eCertainty in Action\u003c\/i\u003eis essential reading for students and researchers of these disciplines, and for anyone interested in getting a grasp of Wittgenstein's lasting genius and influence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dani鑞e Moyal-Sharrock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350071293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350071292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Dani鑞e Moyal-Sharrock","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43943684636927,"sku":"9781350071292","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8e0596da-7d20-41a1-bc4c-db4eb891e80f.jpg?v=1681499481","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/certainty-in-action-danile-moyal-sharrock-9781350071292","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
