Making enactivism even more embodied (2014, background): “Enactivists have entered into various debates with these other approaches (see Di Paulo 2009; Gallagher 2011a; Thompson 2007), and clear lines have been drawn to distinguish the differences that involve questions about functionalism, the importance of the body, the way one is coupled to the…”
Natural Agency: The Case of Bacterial Cognition (2017, background): “It is a relation between the glucose molecule and the bacterium jointly constituted by the physicochemical structure of the molecule and the metabolic capacities of the bacterium (Thompson 2007).”
The Validity of First-Person Descriptions as Authenticity and Coherence (2009, background): “My gaze stretches out, projects itself toward the object, over there, I lose [9] For an extensive criticism of the transparency theory, the reader may refer to (Thompson, 2007, chapter 10). contact with the immediate visual sensation.”
Emotion and ethics: An inter-(en)active approach (2009, background): “…of ‘negative’ emotions), whereas non-conscious perception of happy faces increased activation in the zygomatic major muscle (considered a feature of 4 Thompson (2007) also talks of the moral perception of the other as a person; we deal with this level of empathy in the second part of this paper.”
Aching Voids and Making Voids (2013, background): “Alicia Juarrero (1999) and Evan Thompson (2007) have both written excellent books on neighboring and overlapping topics, but neither of them managed to win me over to the Romantic side (see, e.g., Dennett 2011), whereas Deacon, with his more ambitious exercise of reconstruction, has me re-examining…”
Sociality and the life–mind continuity thesis (2009, methodology): “Jonas claims that " inwardness is coextensive with life " (Jonas 1966, p. 58), a position which has been influential in the development of the notion of sensemaking (cf. Weber and Varela 2002; Di Paolo 2005; Thompson 2007).”
Developing Resilient Agency in Learning: The Internal Structure of Learning Power (2015, background): “…process of creating a perspective of value on the world has been more recently elaborated scientifically in terms of the theory of autopoiesis – the self-organising development of the individual in recursive relationship with its environment (Di Paolo, 2005; Thompson, 2007; Weber and Varela, 2002).”
Loving and knowing: reflections for an engaged epistemology (2019, methodology): “It is a dialectical-phenomenological way-finding tool from the morasses of basic life to the pinnacles of human cognition, in line with the life-mind continuity thesis (Jonas 1966, 1984, 2016; Thompson 2007).”
Enacting Musical Experience (2009, background): “Thompson (2007) nevertheless argues that autopoesis is foundational for enactivism.”
A Rich Landscape of Affordances (2014, background): “Embodied cognitive science (Chemero, 2009; Thompson, 2007; Varela et al., 1991) has, from the earliest days, faced the objection that although the explanations it proposes may work well enough for sensorimotor behavior, these explanations will fail to scale up to so-called higher cognition (Kirsh, 1”
The sense of agency – a phenomenological consequence of enacting sensorimotor schemes (2017, background): “1 For further discussion on the enactive notion of autonomy and its relation to sense-making and agency see e.g. Weber and Varela 2002; Di Paolo 2005; Thompson 2007; Di Paolo and Thompson 2014; also Thompson 2011, and critical commentary in the same issue).”
