Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric August 26, 2015 Myin Erik, D. Hutto Daniel 25 citations
Radical embodied and enactive cognition (REC) is a position that rejects the need for internal representations in explaining cognition. Critics argue REC is either too extreme or not extreme enough. The authors defend REC as appropriately radical, arguing it offers a viable alternative to traditional representational theories of mind, particularly in perception and language. They address common objections and maintain that REC provides a coherent framework without abandoning explanatory power.
