Canadian Journal of Philosophy February 1, 2014 Mohan Matthen 33 citations
A review of Hutto and Myin's Radicalizing Enactivism challenges the adequacy of a non-representational theory of mind. It argues that such a theory cannot distinguish cognition from other bodily engagements like wrestling. It questions whether simple robots by Rodney Brooks adequately model multimodal organisms. Finally, it contends that Hutto and Myin neglect how semantically interacting representations are necessary to explain choice and action.
