Abstract

Cognitive neuroscience and contemporary physicalist philosophies of mind typically hold the view that minds somehow reduce to brain activity. This is achieved through representations that evolved to map reality and are subjected to computational activity. The received view has been criticized mostly through thought experiments that rely on the notion of qualia, but philosopher Alva Noë follows a different approach, called the “sensorimotor theory”. Unlike the orthodoxy, Noë argues that our minds are not inside our bodies; they are better seen as a dynamic process of embodied cognition. This means mental activity emerges from our engagement with the world around us. Noë’s thesis is grounded on original arguments that are both empirical and philosophical in nature.
