This Element discusses contemporary theories of embodied cognition, including what has been termed the '4Es' (embodied, embedded, extended and enactive cognition). It examines diverse approaches to questions about the nature of the mind, the mind's relation to the brain, perceptual experience, mental representation, sense making, the role of the environment, and social cognition, and it considers the strengths and weaknesses of the theories in question. It contrasts embodied and enactive views with classic cognitivism, and discusses major criticisms and their possible resolutions. This element also provides a strong focus on enactive theory and the prospects for integrating enactive approaches with other embodied and extended theories, mediated through recent developments in predictive processing and the free energy principle. It concludes with a brief discussion of the practical applications of embodied cognition. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Sous ce titre, "Le Sens du futur" (expression déjà utilisée dans un ouvrage récent avec Pierre Buser), l'auteur expose comment scientifiques et philosophes ont tenté de décrire, depuis le début du XIXe siècle et ce jusqu'au début du XXe, la structure de la conscience temporelle humaine. Il montre comment ces auteurs ont de plus en plus réalisé l'importance de la dimension du futur dans cette conscience. A travers l'analyse des oeuvres fondatrices (Herbart, Fechner, Helmholtz, Mach, Wundt, William James, Franz Brentano, Edmund Husserl, Edgar Douglas Adrian), de la psychologie et de la psychophysiologie à la phénoménologie, et jusqu'au seuil des neurosciences du XXe siècle, l'auteur reconstitue la mise en évidence des faits, les discussions philosophiques et épistémologiques, les hypothèses spéculatives parfois très hardies et anticipatrices, qui ont marqué la problématique du temps et qui continuent de l'animer. L'émergence du futur comme dimension accessible à la description philosophique et à l'analyse neuroscientifque en relation nécessaire avec le présent et le passé pose des problèmes nouveaux abordés en conclusion de l'ouvrage.
