{"product_id":"paper-minds-jonathan-kramnick-9780226573014","title":"Paper Minds: Literature and the Ecology of Consciousness","description":"How do poems and novels create a sense of mind? What does literary criticism say in conversation with other disciplines that addresses problems of consciousness? In \u003ci\u003ePaper Minds\u003c\/i\u003e, Jonathan Kramnick takes up these vital questions, exploring the relations between mind and environment, the literary forms that uncover such associations, and the various fields of study that work to illuminate them. \u003cbr\u003e Opening with a discussion of how literary scholarship's particular methods can both complement and remain in tension with corresponding methods particular to the sciences, \u003ci\u003ePaper Minds\u003c\/i\u003e then turns to a series of sharply defined case studies. Ranging from eighteenth-century poetry and haptic theories of vision, to fiction and contemporary problems of consciousness, to landscapes in which all matter is sentient, to cognitive science and the rise of the novel, Kramnick's essays are united by a central thematic authority. This unified approach of these essays shows us what distinctive knowledge that literary texts and literary criticism can contribute to discussions of perceptual consciousness, created and natural environments, and skilled engagements with the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Kramnick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022657301X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226573014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Jonathan Kramnick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086418030847,"sku":"9780226573014","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e768dbb-8c71-452c-8931-966c88e48b5e.jpg?v=1769094559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paper-minds-jonathan-kramnick-9780226573014","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
