What is Enactivist interventions : rethinking the mind$nShaun Gallagher about?

Enactivist Interventions' Is An Interdisciplinary Work That Explores How Theories Of Embodied Cognition Illuminate Many Aspects Of The Mind, Including Intentionality, Representation, The Affect, Perception, Action And Free Will, Higher-order Cognition, And Intersubjectivity. Gallagher Argues For A Rethinking Of The Concept Of Mind, Drawing On Pragmatism, Phenomenology And Cognitive Science. Enactivism Is Presented As A Philosophy Of Nature That Has Significant Methodological And Theoretical Implications For The Scientific Investigation Of The Mind. Gallagher Argues That, Like The Basic Phenomena Of Perception And Action, Sophisticated Cognitive Phenomena Like Reflection, Imagining, And Mathematical Reasoning Are Best Explained In Terms Of An Affordance-based Skilled Coping. He Offers An Account Of The Continuity That Runs Between Basic Action, Affectivity, And A Rationality That In Every Case Remains Embodied. Gallagher's Analysis Also Addresses Recent Predictive Models Of Brain Function And Outlines An Alternative, Enactivist Interpretation That Emphasizes The Close Coupling Of Brain, Body And Environment Rather Than A Strong Boundary That Isolates The Brain In Its Internal Proces
