Human beings are, necessarily, social animals who create and belong to social institutions. But social institutions take on a life of their own, and literally shape the minds of all those who belong to them, for better or worse, usually without their being self-consciously aware of it. Indeed, in contemporary neoliberal societies, it is generally for the worse. In \u003ci\u003eThe Mind-Body Politic\u003c\/i\u003e, Michelle Maiese and Robert Hanna work out a new critique of contemporary social institutions by deploying the special standpoint of the philosophy of mind—in particular, the special standpoint of the philosophy of what they call \u003ci\u003eessentially embodied\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eminds—\u003c\/i\u003eand make a set of concrete, positive proposals for radically changing both these social institutions and also our essentially embodied lives for the better.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-08-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030195489\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-19546-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 320\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47710442225804,"sku":"9783030195489","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030195489.jpg?v=1776786128","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030195489","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
