Embodied rationality

chapter
posted on 2024-11-16, 02:19 authored by Shaun GallagherShaun Gallagher
Recent developments in embodied cognition in the field of cognitive science support an expanded notion of rationality. I attempt to explicate this expanded notion by introducing the concepts of embodied rationality and enactive hermeneutics. I argue that bodily performance is rational and that there is continuity between the rational movements of the body and reflective thinking understood as a skill.
