意义的遮蔽——再论具身认知中的“身”

The Concealment of Meaning——On the“Body”in Embodied Cognition

自笛卡尔以来的哲学思想呈现出了一种由思到行,由内到外,由个体向整体,由孤立到交互的转变,而产生此种转变的一个重要原因是对“身体”内涵的重视。同样,“身体”的两个思想内涵在心理学中也产生了两个重要的影响:一是无身性的观点导致了传统认知主义逐渐走向瓶颈,“身体参与认知”成为学术共识,从而引发了由传统认知主义到具身认知的转向;二是在当下的学术语境中,具身认知思想与后现代主义在学理上有共通之处。因此,无论是心理学的发展还是哲学的发展,“身体”在其中都起到了重要的起承转合作用。

The philosophical thought since Descartes shows a transformation from thinking to action,from inside to outside,from individualism to holism,from isolation to interaction.One of the important reasons is the emphasis on the connotation of body.Similarly,the two connotations of body also have two important influences in psychology.First,the absence of body leads to the dilemma of traditional cognitivism,and“the body is involved in the formation of cognition”becomes an academic consensus,which leads to the transformation from traditional cognitivism to embodied cognition.Second,in the current academic context,embodied cognitive thought and postmodernism have something in common.The concept of“body”plays an important role in this process.
