【 摘 要 】

The framework of first-, second-, and third-order embodiment (1-3E; Metzinger, 2014) was developed for exploring how phenomenal properties are physically and computationally grounded. Metzinger's goal for 1-3E is to show how the experience of being a self (i.e., phenomenal selfhood) is generated within an embodied system and thus to embed his self-model theory (Metzinger, 2004) in the context of grounded cognition. The basic claim of his approach is that phenomenal selfhood (3E) is grounded in computational, representational processes (2E) that in turn are grounded in physical (i.e., neural and bodily) structures (1E). In what follows, I will discuss the aspects of grounding and representationality in the framework, and suggest clarifications.
