> Abstract:
> 
> The close relationship between "motion" (bodily movement) and 
> "emotion" (feelings) is not an etymological coincidence. While moving 
> ourselves, we move others; in observing others move - we are moved 
> ourselves. The fundamentally interpersonal nature of mind and language has 
> recently received due attention, but the key role of (e)motion in this context 
> has remained something of a blind spot. The present book rectifies this gap 
> by gathering contributions from leading philosophers, psychologists and 
> linguists working in the area. Framed by an introducing prologue and a 
> summarizing epilogue (written by Colwyn Trevarthen, who brought the 
> phenomenological notion of "intersubjectivity" to a wider audience some 
> 30 years ago) the volume elaborates a dynamical, active view of emotion, 
> along with an affect-laden view of motion - and explores their significance for 
> consciousness, intersubjectivity, and language. As such, it contributes to the 
> emerging interdisciplinary field of "mind science", transcending hitherto 
> dominant computationalist and cognitivist approaches.
