Content and Comportment

On Embodiment and the Epistemic Availability of the World

Michael O'Donovan-Anderson

In this ambitious and compelling book, Michael O'Donovan-Anderson argues that the answer to some long-standing questions in epistemology and metaphysics lies in taking up the neglected question of the role of our bodily activity in establishing connections between representational states—knowledge and belief in particular—and their objects in the world. O'Donovan-Anderson uses ideas from both analytic philosophers (Frege, Dummett, Davidson, and Evans) and continental philosophers (Heidegger and his commentators and critics) to bring together these two approaches in a unique and effective way. Content and Comportment is an important contribution to the literature on embodiment, and will be of great interest to epistemologists and philosophers in both the continental and analytic traditions.
