Merleau-Ponty, Embodied Cognition and Enactivism

Between Phenomenology and the Life Sciences
Updates Merleau-Ponty’s relevance for contemporary and intersecting discussions about enactivism, the life sciences and cognitive neuroscience.
Drawing on Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological work on embodiment and perception, Jack Reynolds develops a novel account of many of the recent debates in enactivism and embodied cognition, engaging specifically with the epistemological and metaphysical aspects of these views.Reynolds sets out a Merleau-Ponty inspired view of enactive cognition, arguing that it presents the best overall explanation of both phenomenological considerations and a range of scientific evidence concerning life and mind. He defends the view against a variety of alternative positions across the putative analytic-continental divide, including predictive processing, illusionism and computationalism.
