In
Danièle Moyal-Sharrock describes how her encounter with Wittgenstein overturned her previous assumptions that the mind is a product of brain activity and that thought, consciousness, the will, feelings, memories, knowledge and language are stored and processed
. She shows how Wittgenstein enables us to veer away from this brain-centred view of intelligence and behaviour to a person-centred view focusing on ways of acting that are both
embedded across forms of human life and
embedded in a single human form of life. The book traces the radical importance of
as the cohesive thread weaving through Wittgenstein's philosophy, and shows how
intertwines with it to produce new ways of engaging in epistemology, the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language.
