Guy Claxton is emeritus professor of the learning sciences at the University of Winchester. His many publications include Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind: Why Intelligence Increases When You Think Less. He lives in Sussex, UK.
"Guy Claxton is an articulate spokesman for the new field of
“embodied cognition”. He argues that shaking off our brain-centered
view will not only give us a better understanding of human biology
but will also benefit society."—Clive Cookson, Financial Times
"Eloquently written, refreshing and entertaining."—Elsbeth Stern,
Nature
"Memory, consciousness, emotions, abstractions, the nature of the
self – our casual conceptions of all these are powerfully
challenged as Intelligence in the Flesh examines the
unity of mind and body with considerable wisdom and not a little
wit."—David Perkins, author of Future Wise: Educating Our Children
for a Changing World
"The best book on the topic of embodied intelligence that I know:
the most thorough, as well as the most clearly thought out, and the
most readable. It deserves to be very widely read and should become
a classic work in the area."—Iain McGilchrist, author of The
Master and His Emissary
