想想一个陶工把一个器皿扔到轮子上。想想大脑、身体、轮子和粘土在这个活动的不同阶段相互联系和相互作用的复杂方式，试着想象一下实施这个创造性过程所需的一些资源（物理的、心理的或生物的）。例如，把注意力集中在陶工试图把粘土块放在轮子上的头几分钟。双手抓着粘土。手指，随着表面的弯曲轻微弯曲，感知粘土并交换重要的触觉信息，这些信息对于接下来几秒钟将要做出的一些关键决定是必要的。是什么在引导我们
Consider a potter throwing a vessel on the wheel. Think of the complex ways brain, body, wheel and clay relate and interact with one another throughout the different stages of this activity and try to imagine some of the resources (physical, mental or biological) needed for the enaction of this creative process. Focus, for instance, on the first minutes of action when the potter attempts to centre the lump of clay on the wheel. The hands are grasping the clay. The fingers, bent slightly following the surface curvature, sense the clay and exchange vital tactile information necessary for a number of crucial decisions that are about to follow in the next few seconds. What is it that guides
the dextrous positioning of the potter’s hands and decides upon the precise amount of forward or downward pressure necessary for centring a lump of clay on the wheel? How do the potter’s fingers come to know the precise force of the
appropriate grip? What makes these questions even more fascinating is the ease by which the phenomena which they describe are accomplished. Yet underlying the effortless manner in which the potter’s hand reaches for and gradually
shapes the wet clay lies a whole set of conceptual challenges to some of our most deeply entrenched assumptions about what it means to be a human agent.
