Johnson, Mark (2007): The Meaning of the Body: Aesthetics of Human Understanding. University of Chicago Press

“In The Meaning of the Body, Mark Johnson continues his pioneering work on the exciting connections between cognitive science, language, and meaning first begun in the classic Metaphors We Live By. Johnson uses recent research into infant psychology to show how the body generates meaning even before self-consciousness has fully developed. From there he turns to cognitive neuroscience to further explore the bodily origins of meaning, thought, and language and examines the many dimensions of meaning—including images, qualities, emotions, and metaphors—that are all rooted in the body’s physical encounters with the world. Drawing on the psychology of art and pragmatist philosophy, Johnson argues that all of these aspects of meaning-making are fundamentally aesthetic. He concludes that the arts are the culmination of human attempts to find meaning and that studying the aesthetic dimensions of our experience is crucial to unlocking meaning's bodily sources.           Throughout, Johnson puts forth a bold new conception of the mind rooted in the understanding that philosophy will matter to nonphilosophers only if it is built on a visceral connection to the world. “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, author of Moral Politics (20061023)”

Lakoff, George and Johnson, Mark (2003): Metaphors We Live By, 2nd edition. University of Chicago Press

“The now-classic Metaphors We Live By changed our understanding of metaphor and its role in language and the mind. Metaphor, the authors explain, is a fundamental mechanism of mind, one that allows us to use what we know about our physical and social experience to provide understanding of countless other subjects. Because such metaphors structure our most basic understandings of our experience, they are "metaphors we live by"—metaphors that can shape our perceptions and actions without our ever noticing them.In this updated edition of Lakoff and Johnson's influential book, the authors supply an afterword surveying how their theory of metaphor has developed within the cognitive sciences to become central to the contemporary understanding of how we think and how we express our thoughts in language.”

Peters, Joseph I., Blackwood, William O., Fineberg, Michael L., Johnson, Mark, Ehly, William, Carona, Bernard M., Council, George S. and Howell, Lawrence D. (1987): MANPRINT Perspectives: R&D/Production and Government/Industry. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1040-1041.

“This panel session is intended to be responsive to continued, high-level attention given by the U.S. Army to its MANPRINT (Manpower and Personnel Integration) initiative and to the continued, if not increasing, interest expressed by the human factors community in MANPRINT efforts. LTC William O. Blackwood from the U.S. Army MANPRINT Policy Office will precede the panelists' presentations with a brief MANPRINT overview. MANPRINT interests will then be discussed by panelists representing four perspectives along two dimensions as represented in Figure 1 [to be found in the text].”

Johnson, Mark (1987): Body in the Mind: The Bodily Basis of Meaning, Imagination and Reason. University of Chicago Press

“"There are books—few and far between—which carefully, delightfully, and genuinely turn your head inside out. This is one of them. It 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”
