Seems accurate for me as well (your view of Ponty + embodied
cognition and mine that is smile emoticon ) - I mean, some of it
has found validity in CogSci, such as tools being an extension
of the self in brain scans and metaphors are seen by the brain
as concrete, but in order for it to stick fully, a lot of things
would have to be rewritten and really, those things don't really
have to be rewritten. It's more of an attitude. But it's enough
for me to stand behind. It doesn't do much that's novel, but it
does get rid of the silly brain/body/social/environment lines
somewhat. It's more of a change-of-perspective than omg-woah.
