ABSTRACT
Of the three themes around which I am organizing discussion of embodied cognition, Replacement is most self-consciously opposed to the computational framework that lies at the core of standard cognitive science. We saw in our discussion of Conceptualization that a number of cognitive scientists suspect that this core is rotten. Insofar as they have an alternative to offer, they are engaged in the Replacement project as well as Conceptualization. In this chapter the focus is strictly on Replacement. The work we will examine was developed with the goal of providing a better way to do cognitive science.
