Book review: Enaction: toward a new paradigm for cognitive science

[extract] ‘‘The aim of this book is to present the paradigm of enaction [emphasis added] as a

framework for a far-reaching renewal of cognitive science as a whole’’ (p. vii). This is

an ambitious project, although one that has enjoyed an explosion of activity and

interest in the last twenty years. Sometimes referred to as ‘‘4E Cognition,’’ this

paradigm shift in cognitive science is a movement focusing on the ramifications of

embodied, embedded, extended, and enactive issues to the questions of the ontological

constitution of cognition and the epistemological constitution of cognitive science.
