The essays revitalise our reading of the era's works in the fields of archaeology, history, drama, literature, art, philosophy, science and medicine, bringing to bear recent insights in cognitive science and philosophy of mind on the ways in which cognition is distributed across brain, body and world. Collectively the essays in the book demonstrate the ways in which the particular range of sociocultural and technological contexts that existed during the long eighteenth century fostered and reflected particular notions of distributed cognition.
