Above all, the book's arguments were powered by the conviction that the sciences of mind must encompass lived human experience and the possibilities for transformation inherent in human experiencethrough this cross-fertilization of disparate fields of study, the embodied mind introduced a new form of cognitive science called "enaction," in which both the environment and first person experience are aspects of embodimentit pioneered the connections between phenomenology and science and between buddhist practices and science-claims that have since become highly influentialalthough enacted cognition lacks an absolute foundation, the book shows how that does not lead to either experiential or philosophical nihilismsee oxfam website for delivery information read moreoxfam bookshop preston a new edition of a classic work that originated the "embodied cognition" movement and was one of the first to link science and buddhist practiceshowever, enactive embodiment is not the grasping of an independent, outside world by a brain, a mind, or a self; rather it is the bringing forth of an interdependent world in and through embodied actiona preface by jon kabat-zinn, the originator of the mindfulness-based stress reduction program, contextualizes the book and describes its influence on his life and workthis revised edition includes substantive introductions by evan thompson and eleanor rosch that clarify central arguments of the work and discuss and evaluate subsequent research that has expanded on the themes of the book, including the renewed theoretical and practical interest in buddhism and mindfulnessthis classic book, first published in , was one of the first to propose the "embodied cognition" approach in cognitive science
