A proposal that extends the enactive approach developed in
cognitive science and philosophy of mind to issues in affective
science. In The Feeling Body, Giovanna Colombetti takes ideas from
the enactive approach developed over the last twenty years in
cognitive science and philosophy of mind and applies them for the
first time to affective science-the study of emotions, moods, and
feelings. She argues that enactivism entails a view of cognition as
not just embodied but also intrinsically affective, and she
elaborates on the implications of this claim for the study of
emotion in psychology and neuroscience. In the course of her
discussion, Colombetti focuses on long-debated issues in affective
science, including the notion of basic emotions, the nature of
appraisal and its relationship to bodily arousal, the place of
bodily feelings in emotion experience, the neurophysiological study
of emotion experience, and the bodily nature of our encounters with
others. Drawing on enactivist tools such as dynamical systems
theory, the notion of the lived body, neurophenomenology, and
phenomenological accounts of empathy, Colombetti advances a novel
approach to these traditional issues that does justice to their
complexity. Doing so, she also expands the enactive approach into a
further domain of inquiry, one that has more generally been
neglected by the embodied-embedded approach in the philosophy of
cognitive science.
