Combining research from renowned philosophers, cognitive scientists, neuroscientists, and social theorists, this book demonstrates the pragmatist notion of habit as a unifying concept for many disciplines. Suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in philosophy, cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, and social theory.

This pragmatist interpretation of habits provides a unifying concept for 4E cognitive science, neuroscience, philosophy, and social theory.

'Philosophers and neuroscientists have long treated habitual actions as reason's shadow, as rigid mechanical routines. This stunning collection of essays excavates a rich counter-history of the neurophilosophy of habits. The contributors combine rigorous original scholarship with ambitious updates of the great pragmatist philosophers' subtle views on embodied cognition and human plasticity.' John Sutton, Professor of Cognitive Science, Macquarie University, Australia
