ABSTRACT

Embodied cognition, embedded cognition, enactivism, situated cognition, grounded cognition, and the extended mind are all views of human cognition, human cognitive processes, and the human mind that reject one or another aspect of the Cartesian picture of the mind that survives the displacement of Cartesian ontological dualism by ontological physicalism (cf. Rowlands, 2010). This chapter is devoted to embodied cognition (or embodiment for short). More precisely, it is devoted to what I call radical embodiment .
