Enactivist Interventions by Shaun Gallagher

Rethinking the Mind

This work offers a clear, compact defense and development of the enactivist approach to mind, arguing that cognition is not computation over internal representations but arises through embodied, situated activity, sensorimotor engagement, and autonomous sense-making. It brings philosophical argument, empirical examples, and methodological suggestions together to challenge representational and brain-bound models, extend enactivist ideas into social cognition and ethics, and propose interdisciplinary interventions—showing how shifting to an action- and organism-centered perspective reshapes research questions and practical applications across cognitive science and the human sciences.
