Action Understanding
The human ability to effortlessly understand the actions of other people has been the focus of research in cognitive neuroscience for decades.What have we learned about this ability, and what open questions remain?In this Element the authors address these questions by considering the kinds of information an observer may gain when viewing an action.A 'what, how, and why' framing organises evidence and theories about the representations that support classifying an action; how the way an action is performed supports observational learning and inferences about other people; and how an actor's intentions are inferred from her actions.Further evidence shows how brain systems support action understanding, from research inspired by 'mirror neurons' and related concepts.Understanding actions from vision is a multi-faceted process that serves many behavioural goals, and is served by diverse mechanisms and brain systems.

Understanding Cavell, Understanding Modernism
Stanley Cavell, undoubtedly one of the most singular and influential voices in contemporary philosophy, has written extensively on modernist art – particularly on painting, photography, music, and literature.He has also dedicated an impressive body of work to cinema, whose complex and nuanced status in regard to modernism constitutes one of Cavell’s main concerns.However, Cavell’s importance for understanding modernism is not exhausted by his interest in, and analyses of, modernist art and literature.Equally significant, and perhaps even more original, is his understanding of ordinary language philosophy as a modernist enterprise in its own terms.Following the template for the Understanding Philosophy, Understanding Modernism series, this volume is divided into three distinct parts.The first part, "Conceptualizing Cavell," features introductory essays on Cavell’s most important works.The second part, "Cavell and Aesthetics," delves into more specific aspects and problems pertaining to Cavell’s aesthetics and its moral and political implications.The third part is an extended glossary of Cavell’s key words and concepts.

Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism
Over the past three decades, Jean-Luc Nancy has become one of the most celebrated contemporary philosophers.His remarkably diverse body of work, which deals with such topics as post-Heideggerian ontology, Christian painting, the experience of drunkenness, heart transplants, contemporary cinema and the problem of freedom, is entirely "immersed" in modernity, as he puts it.Within this plural framework, art – which he explicitly defines as a modern construct – plays a singular role in that it is the very prism through which he explores the problems of sense and feeling in general, particularly as they relate to “our” experience of modernity.The contributors to Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism fully delve into the heretofore under-acknowledged and under-explored modernism of Nancy’s writings on philosophy and the arts through close readings of his key works as well as broader essays on the relationship between his thought and aesthetic modernity. In addition to an interview with Nancy himself, a final section consists of an extended glossary of Nancy’s signature terms, which will be a valuable resource for students and experts alike.

Is mathematical understanding the same as technical understanding?
Mathematical understanding and technical understanding are related but not the same. Mathematical understanding involves grasping abstract concepts, relationships, and principles, while technical understanding typically involves knowledge of specific tools, techniques, and procedures used in a particular field. While mathematical understanding can be a foundation for technical understanding in some cases, technical understanding often requires practical application and hands-on experience that goes beyond pure mathematical reasoning.
