It draws on insights from historical and contemporary philosophy, neuroscience, and developmental psychology to offer a philosophical account of mutual awareness that is grounded in a Thomistic powers ontology and philosophical anthropology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany have noticed that joint attention involves a form of shared experience, or mutual awareness, which includes not only awareness of one’s own mental states, but also awareness of the mental states of the other. This book argues that mutual awareness is a shared mode of cognition that arises from certain intrinsically reciprocal social interactions. Such interactions involve cognitive and conative powers that are interdependent with those of other persons, a claim that is rooted in a powers ontology that grows out of a broader philosophical anthropology and cognitional theory that can be found in the work of Thomas Aquinas. On the Thomistic view defended here, persons are intrinsically relational, and as such only fully actualize what it is to be a person when they co-actualize such powers with other persons when standing in interpersonal relations. And when these powers are co-actualized, mutual awareness is constitutive of one’s own mode of experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntangled Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to scholars and graduate students interested in the thought of Thomas Aquinas, philosophy of mind, metaphysics, philosophical anthropology, medieval philosophy, and developmental psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":67926373892369,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":67926374351121,"sku":"NGR9781032778877","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-james-kintz.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
