Notes

  1. For other attempts, see Wilson 2002, Gibss 2006, Calvo and Gomila 2008, and Chemero 2009.

  2. In Shapiro 2007, he proclaims the need for additional reflection over what embodied cognition is (pp. 344–345).

  3. For a discussion of what this new science could amount to, see also Rowlands 2010, The New Science of the Mind.
