"Mark Johnson demonstrates that the aesthetic and emotional aspects of meaning are fundamental--central to conceptual meaning and reason, and that the arts show meaning-making in its fullest realization. If you were raised with the idea that art and emotion were external to ideas and reason, you must read this book. It grounds philosophy in our most visceral experience." -- George Lakoff, University of California, Berkeley
"There are books--few and far between--which carefully, delightfully, and genuinely turn your head inside out. This is one of them. Mark Johnson's "The Body in the Mind" ranges over some central issues in Western philosophy and begins the long overdue job of giving us a radically new account of meaning, rationality, and objectivity."--Yaakov Garb, San Francisco Chronicle
