On the Proper Treatment of Embodiment

具身认知的工作描绘了思想和理性，在某种程度上与我们的身体形态、感觉运动技能以及我们生活、移动、学习和思考的社会、文化和技术脚手架的使能网络密不可分。但是，人们对大脑、身体和当地环境之间究竟存在什么样的联系存在争议，这往往让人感到不安的模糊。该项目旨在理清各种论据和对化身的呼吁，评估支持和反对具体主张的证据，并探讨它们对哲学、认知科学和我们作为一个物种的自我形象的潜在重要性。

Work in embodied cognition depicts thought and reason as in some way inextricably tied to the details of our bodily form, sensorimotor skills, and the enabling web of social, cultural, and technological scaffolding in which we live, move, learn and think. But exactly what kind of link between the mind, the body and the local environment is at issue is often left uncomfortably vague. The project aims to disentangle various arguments and appeals to embodiment, to assess the evidence for and against specific claims, and to canvass their potential importance for philosophy, cognitive science, and our self-image as a species.
