Enactivism

Enactivism is an approach that holds cognition to be not an abstract operation happening inside the mind but a process woven within the body's action in the environment. In this view, we do not passively take the world in; we make meaning by interacting with it, moving, and acting. Cognition emerges in the living exchange between body and world. Enactivism stands against the understanding that separates the mind from the body and the environment. To know, in this view, is to exist by acting in the world.
