About this document
Exploring Meaning in Bodily Presence by John Shotter is a document available to read on EtoBox.
John Shotter argues that the meaningfulness of language arises from our spontaneous bodily responsiveness to others rather than from systematic mental representations. He explores the realm of expressive bodily activity that precedes calculational processes, emphasizing the importance of non-interpretational understanding in social interactions. The document critiques Cartesian views of knowledge and suggests a shift towards recognizing our participatory role within a living, dynamic social context.
