This book considers how the mind publicly produces and enfolds itself in being. Refusing to characterize the mind in terms of its dissimilarity with society, yet not accepting the strictly critical project of deconstructing the individual in society, we consider how mind, psyche and self are interpretations in a dialogue that takes place publicly. There are unique implications of this realization of self as mind in public spaces, emancipatory possibilities as interpretations unfold greater and unforeseen meaning. In this collection of papers the authors explore ways that cultural practices and institutions bring forth meanings of mind while limiting the realization of other possibilities. The chapters in this book engage a diversity of theoretical frameworks including hermeneutics, political theory, historiography, philosophy of language and cultural psychology. In the end, the reader is introduced to a number of substantial ways of considering mind’s public location.
