A Critical History of the Embodied Cognitive Research Paradigm
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Embodied Cognition by Lawrence Shapiro is a fine text that focuses on the issues of body, embodiment, and the environment in cognitive science, philosophy, and psychology. As the title suggests, Shapiro's book offers us a glimpse into the broadly defined, and still growing, research paradigm known as "embodied" cognition. Within this particular paradigm the body and environment are placed in the foreground when it comes to both theoretical and empirical work on cognition and the mind. In terms of the audience for this particular text, we suggest that with its combination of systematic rigor, lucid prose, and multiple well structured examples, it is a worthwhile read for scholars, casual readers, or as a useful addition to any course that contains elements of philosophy of mind or a focus on cognitive science.

However, while we offer this principle, it is necessarily broad, and searching for a single unifying theme has not brought re...
متن کاملThe Future Prospects for Embodied Cognition
When all the data and arguments are in, will the recent flurry of work in embodied cognition deliver a revolutionary paradigm shift in the sciences and philosophy of mind?

متن کاملConsciousness and the Embodied Self
This paper deals with the relationship between the embodied cognition paradigm and two sets of its implications: its implications for the ontology of selves, and its implications for the nature and extent of phenomenal consciousness. There has been a recent wave of interest within cognitive science in the paradigm variously called ‘embodied,’ ‘extended,’ ‘situated’ or ‘distributed’ cognition. A...
