The Embodied View of Cognition

There is a movement in the Cognitive Sciences. The Embodied View of Cognition argues that our mind and reason are embodied. Opposite to this view, the cognitive notion of the First-generation Cognitive Sciences, based on the meaning of objectivism, thinks that the cognitive procedure and product are independent of physical structure of man who's involved in the cognitive activities and cognitive happenings, and the cognitive situation in which the cognition happens as well. On the contrary, the Embodied View of Cognition looks cognition as an interaction between the body-subject in the actual situation alive. It is indicated by looking into the thought origin of the Embodied View of Cognition and the contemporary findings of the Cognitive Science that meaning lies at the center of cognition, and it is by meaning that our cognitive activity is closely linked to the world. The essence of mind lies in the activity to construct meaning.
