An Interpretation of Embodied and Disembodied Point of View in The Moonlit Night from the Perspective of Embodied Social Cognition

Embodied cognition permeates different research areas of cognitive science,including artificial intelligence,cognitive neuroscience and cognitive linguistics. The paradigm of embodied social cognition has been widely recognized. In the physical world,the embodiment of mind mainly manifests in its reliance on the physiological,neuromechanism and activity form of the body. While interacting with objects and human beings,mind represents,perceives,assimilates and understands the world. Extended research on embodied social cognition contributes to people's understanding of the interaction between mind and body in social scenes. Understanding others or adopting other's( self as other) point of view is essentially a form of embodied practice. Adopting either the embodied self point of view or disembodied self as other's point of view are of no exception different forms of embodied cognition. The adoption of disembodied point of view which violates the cultural conventions extends the aesthetic connotation,promotes the mutual understanding and recognition between the self and the other in imagined space and actual space,thus having positive implications in social interaction.
