 Mead and second-generation cognitive theorists share a commitment to the evolutionary, genetic, and ultimately social development of cognition. Projects in 4EA cognition have the potential to align with, or better, respond to Mead’s demand that questions of mind and the self are developed out of an integration of the “parallel” disciplines of philosophy, social psychology, and physiology (CP in ESP, 9–18; see also McVeigh 2016, 2020). For instance, it has been argued that mirror neurons function as the neurological mechanism that allows for humans to take the attitude of others (Madzia 2013; McVeigh 2016). Contemporary research in cognitive science that addresses the perspectival nature and embodied sociality of such cognitive mechanisms as basic-level cognition and joint attention has the potential to complement and enrich Mead’s views on the emergence of self, mind, and society (McVeigh 2016; Cahoone 2013, 2019; see also Tomasello 2020).
