This 2006 book explores how people's subjective, felt experiences
of their bodies in action provide part of the fundamental grounding
for human cognition and language. Cognition is what occurs when the
body engages the physical and cultural world and must be studied in
terms of the dynamical interactions between people and the
environment. Human language and thought emerge from recurring
patterns of embodied activity that constrain ongoing intelligent
behavior. We must not assume cognition to be purely internal,
symbolic, computational, and disembodied, but seek out the gross
and detailed ways that language and thought are inextricably shaped
by embodied action. Embodiment and Cognitive Science describes the
abundance of empirical evidence from many disciplines, including
work on perception, concepts, imagery and reasoning, language and
communication, cognitive development, and emotions and
consciousness, that support the idea that the mind is embodied.
