The Embodied Mind: cognitive science and human experience.
MIT Press. 1991
The Embodied Mind provides a unique, sophisticated treatment
of the spontaneous and reflective dimension of human experience.
The authors argue that only by having a sense of common ground
between mind in science and mind in experience
can our understanding of cognition be more complete.
Toward that end, they develop a dialogue between cognitive science and Buddhist
meditative psychology and situate it in relation to other traditions such as
phenomenology and psychoanalysis.
