    • Ambiguity in the sense of agency 

      Gallagher, Shaun (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013)

    • Are minimal representations still representations? 

      Gallagher, Shaun (2008-07-01)
      I examine the following question: Do actions require representations that are intrinsic to the action itself? Recent work by Mark Rowlands, Michael Wheeler, and Andy Clark suggests that actions may require a minimal form ...

    • The body in social context : Some qualifications on the ‘warmth and intimacy’ of bodily self-consciousness 

      Gallagher, Shaun (2012)
      In this paper I examine William James’ concept of the ‘warmth and intimacy’ of bodily self-consciousness and relate it to recent attempts to recast bodily selfconsciousness in strictly neural terms. James takes bodily ...

    • The brain as part of an enactive system 

      Gallagher, Shaun; Hutto, Daniel; Slaby, Jan; Cole, Jonathan (2013-08)
      The notion of an enactive system requires thinking about the brain in a way that is different from the standard computationalrepresentational models. In evolutionary terms, the brain does what it does and is the way that ...

    • Defining consciousness : The importance of non-reflective self-awareneess 

      Gallagher, Shaun (2010-01)
      I review the problem of how to define consciousness. I suggest that rather than continuing that debate, we should turn to phenomenological description of experience to discover the common aspects of consciousness. In this ...

    • Delusional realities 

      Gallagher, Shaun (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2009-05-14)
      Recent accounts of delusions involve either top-down or bottom-up, or some hybrid version of theories that rely on internalist, brain-based, or purely belief-based approaches. My intent in this chapter is to explore an ...

    • Direct perception in the intersubjective context 

      Gallagher, Shaun (2008)
      This paper, in opposition to the standard theories of social cognition found in psychology and cognitive science, defends the idea that direct perception plays an important role in social cognition. The two dominant theories, ...

    • An education in narratives 

      Gallagher, Shaun (2014)
      I argue for a broad education in narratives as a way to address several problems found in moral psychology and social cognition. First, an education in narratives will address a common problem of narrowness or lack of ...

    • Empathy, simulation and narrative 

      Gallagher, Shaun (2012-09)
      A number of theorists have proposed simulation theories of empathy. A review these theories show that, despite the fact that one version of the simulation theory can avoid a number of problems associated with such approaches, ...

    • Enactive hands 

      Gallagher, Shaun (MIT Press, 2013)

    • Experimenting with introspection : Comment from Shaun Gallagher 

      Gallagher, Shaun (2002-09)

    • Experimenting with phenomenology 

      Gallagher, Shaun; Brøsted Sørensen, Jesper (2006-03)
      We review the use of introspective and phenomenological methods in experimental settings. We distinguish different senses of introspection, and further distinguish phenomenological method from introspectionist approaches. ...

    • Forward 

      Gallagher, Shaun (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)

    • Husserl and the phenomenology of temporality 

      Gallagher, Shaun (Blackwell, 2013)

    • In defense of phenomenological approaches to social cognition : Interacting with the critics 

      Gallagher, Shaun (2012)
      I clarify recently developed phenomenological approaches to social cognition. These are approaches that, drawing on developmental science, social neuroscience, and dynamic systems theory, emphasize the involvement of ...

    • Inference or interaction: social cognition without precursors 

      Gallagher, Shaun (2008)
      In this paper I defend interaction theory (IT) as an alternative to both theory theory (TT) and simulation theory (ST). IT opposes the basic suppositions that both TT and ST depend upon. I argue that the various capacities ...

    • Multiple aspects in the sense of agency 

      Gallagher, Shaun (2011)
      Recent significant research in a number of disciplines centers on the concept of the sense of agency. Because many of these studies cut across disciplinary lines there is good reason to seek a clear consensus on what ‘sense ...

    • Neurocognitive models of schizophrenia : a neurophenomenological critique 

      Gallagher, Shaun (2004)
      This paper argues that Frith's (1992) account of the positive symptoms of schizophrenia in terms of a disruption of metarepresentational self-monitoring is inadequate in several specific ways. More generally, this paper ...

    • On agency and body-ownership : phenomenological and neurocognitive reflections 

      Tsakiris, Manos; Schütz-Bosbach, Simone; Gallagher, Shaun (2007-09)
      The recent distinction between sense of agency and sense of body-ownership has attracted considerable empirical and theoretical interest. The respective contributions of central motor signals and peripheral afferent signals ...
