{ "pk": 29864, "title": "Radical Embodiment and the Relation Between Individual and Joint Action: ALevel-Neutral Approach", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "A common assumption in the philosophical literature on joint action is that individual-level action is both ontologicallyand explanatorily prior to collective action: in this view, joint action emerges fromand is therefore best explained in termsofindividual-level mental (intentional, propositional) states. This leads to the awkward position of attributing individual-like minds to groups. But assigning priority to the collective level is equally unsatisfactory. Here I draw from radicalembodied cognitive science to offer a level-neutral alternative. Whether individual or joint, successful action is properlyunderstood as the soft-assembly of a synergistic system, i.e., a higher-order control system exhibiting dimensional com-pression and reciprocal compensation. This level-neutral lens of synergistic dynamics helps elucidate the circular relationbetween individual and collective action: joint action recruits individual-level motor/cognitive mechanisms, yet individual-level mechanisms only emerge through development in social settingsresulting in a nested, self-reinforcing coordinativestructure for action, both individual and collective.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Poster Session 2", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/53j1x4n2", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Guilherme Sanches", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "de Oliveira", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Cincinnati", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2020-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29864/galley/19718/download/" } ] }
