Embodied Consciousness
The Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Consciousness July 9, 2020 Mark Rowlands 2 citations
The question of whether consciousness is embodied has been hindered by not first asking what the body is. The body as object—what you see in the mirror—is distinct from the body as subject, the lived body that cannot be seen. Consciousness is not merely housed in the lived body; it is identical to the lived body. The body as object contains no consciousness. Thus, the debate over embodied consciousness is resolved by recognizing that consciousness and the lived body are one and the same.
