This book reveals how our social institutions, technologies, and cultural narratives shape not only what we think, but how we think--and ultimately, who we become. Robert Hanna, Michelle Maiese, and Otto Paans bring together philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and sociopolitical theory to show how our thoughts, emotions, and actions are molded by the worlds we inhabit.
Challenging the dominant mechanistic worldview, the authors advocate for a neo-organicist perspective that recognizes the dynamic, creative, and self-organizing nature of human cognition. Through vivid case studies--ranging from gun violence and digital technologies to ecological crisis and the rhythms of work--they demonstrate how thought-shapers operate at every level of society, for better or worse.
Accessible yet deeply scholarly, the book offers a compelling vision for transforming our collective habits and institutions to foster genuine human flourishing. This is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy of mind, enactivism, or the urgent task of reimagining our shared future.
