Shaun Gallagher surveys approaches to cognition that place the living body, its surroundings and its activity at the center of an account of mind. The discussion introduces the four Es—embodied, embedded, extended and enactive cognition—and explains both their common ground and their disagreements.
The book examines perception, mental representation, sense-making and social cognition, contrasting these approaches with classical cognitivism. It gives particular attention to enactive theory, criticisms of that theory and possible connections with predictive processing and the free-energy principle.
The final discussion turns to practical implications and applications. This complete 2023 Element in the Philosophy of Mind includes the original references and licensing notices.
