What can we make of theories of embodiment and the role of the human mirror system?

 

Summary

In the last decades, so-called approaches of embodiment and mirror neurons have revolutionized theories of cognition, especially in the field of emotions, language, empathy, imitation and learning. However, such theories are not without criticism. This book presents many theoretical and experimental perspectives that allow us to reconsider the concrete implications and the specific roles that these approaches have today.-García, A.
