Název v původním jazyce

Mead and Self-embodiment: Imitation, Simulation and the Problem of Taking the Attitude of the Other

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In the first part, the paper analyzes Mead's treatment of embodiment and briefly contrasts it with contemporary theories of "mind-reading" (theory-theory, simulation theory). Next, it focuses on the findings of mirror-neuron research and tries to answerthe question of whether mirror neurons provide sufficient mechanisms for imitation, thus, undermining Mead's lifelong conviction that imitation cannot predate taking the attitude/role of the other (a line of criticism recently taken up by Stephen Turner). The author concludes that mirror neurons, by themselves, do not represent a sufficient condition for imitation and further suggests that we ought to understand the functioning of mirror-neuron mechanisms in terms of simulation rather than imitation. Adoption of such a position, as the author argues, reinforces Mead's pragmatist emphasis on the role of embodiment in human social interaction.
