【 摘 要 】

A growing number of researchers in cognitive science challenge the idea that we can understand the mind by just looking at the brain (Hurley, 1998; Gallagher, 2005; Thompson, 2007; Clark, 2008; Menary, 2010; Shapiro, 2011). They argue that our psychological capacities are realized not just by our brain but also our bodies, as well as the complex ways these bodies interact with their material and social environments. For these “4E” approaches, our psychological capacities are embodied, or realized by our physiology and agency; embedded, or situated within environmental niches that support and constrain them; enacted, or reflective of our first-person activities of sense-making and meaning-creation; and perhaps even extended beyond the head by material and social resources around us.
