Na cestě k relačnímu výkladu afektivity: k dialogu mezi teoriemi vtělené kognice a fenomenologií

Filosofický časopis May 27, 2023 Jan Halák

This article examines the dialogue between phenomenology and contemporary embodied cognition theories regarding affectivity. The author critiques approaches by Joel Krueger and Giovanna Colombetti, which draw on extended cognition and enactivism, finding inconsistencies when compared with Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology. Resolving these inconsistencies requires a rigorously relational interpretation of affectivity, where affectivity is not an internal phenomenon causally linked to external factors but a dynamic relationship between a sense-making agent and their meaningful environment.
