How embodied cognition is being disembodied

Embodied cognition has been reframing our understanding of mind, brain, perception, action, and cognition more generally, since at least the 1990s, following the publication of The Embodied Mind by Varela, Thompson and Rosch. That landmark publication did not appear out of nowhere. It was building on the ongoing work in phenomenological philosophy from the time of Merleau-Ponty. With The Embodied Mind, and a growing number of publications since, the resources found in phenomenology, as well as pragmatism (especially the work of Peirce and Dewey) have now gained a foothold in the cognitive sciences and have been turning some things around in philosophy of mind.
