This workshop will explore the complementary analyses of embodied, enactive and
extended approaches to cognition. In particular workshop participants will
focus on: whether there is a biological basis to the extended mind? Whether
cognition is embodied and embedded but not extended? And whether an enactive
account of cognitive skills excludes appeal to cognitive representations? The
workshop is part of the ARC Discovery project: Embodied Virtues and Expertise
Recent research on embodied cognition, enactivism and the
extended mind depicts thought and reason as inextricably tied to the details of
bodily form, habits of action and the complex web of social and cultural
interactions, technological artefacts and linguistic and representational
tokens in which we live, move, learn and think. Just how we think of the way
that out bodies and environments shape and constitute our minds matters to
empirical and philosophical work on the self, the mind and our capacities to
think and reason. Taking the body, environment and culture seriously is making
a difference to how researchers approach the study of these interrelated
phenomena.
