This volume is a remarkable collection of essays for its creative approach to the topic of thinking. The various essays effectively demonstrate the ways in which thinking does not merely take place in the brain but is embodied in our material and practical engagement with the world.

Thinking in the World combines the work of key thinkers to pioneer a new approach to the study of thought. Responding to a pressing need in both academic and wider public contexts to account for thinking as it is experienced in everyday settings, the Reader and Book Series explore our thinking relationship to everything from illness, to built environments, to ecologies, to other forms of life and technology.Bringing together phenomenology with recent trends in cognitive science and the arts, this unique, field-defining collection illuminates thinking as a practical activity. It interweaves a series of distinctive essays and commentaries into a compelling whole, constituting a new framework and set of resources for analyzing thinking in real-world situations. Rather than simply thinking about the world, the authors examine the ways in which we think in and with the world in its physical, material and social dimensions. A philosophy of thinking in action, it provides a multifaceted but sustained account of neurobiological experience and its inexorable connection to the world.
