Sociology, Cognition, and Linguistics - Towards a Theory of Sociognistics

This book explores how social and political life are shaped by unconscious linguistic operations and practical bodily experiences, rather than exclusively by rationality and consciously crafted arguments, and thus presents a conceptually and theoretically rigorous account of how and why we must grasp the cognitive basis of societies.
