"On peut découvrir en soi, et autour de soi, les moyens qui permettent de revenir à la vie et d'aller de l'avant, tout en gardant la mémoire de sa blessure. Les chemins de vie se situent sur une crête étroite, entre toutes les formes de vulnérabilité. Être invulnérable voudrait dire impossible à blesser. La seule protection consiste à éviter les chocs qui détruisent, autant qu'à éviter de trop s'en protéger. Chaque âge possède sa force et sa faiblesse et les moments non blessés de l'existence s'expliquent par notre capacité à maîtriser, voire à surmonter, ce qui, en nous, relève, dans un constant remaniement, du biologique, de l'affectif et de l'environnement social et culturel. Le bonheur n'est jamais pur. Pourquoi faut-il que, si souvent, une bouffée de bonheur provoque l'angoisse de le perdre ? Sans souffrance, pourrait-on aimer ? Sans angoisse et sans perte affective, aurait-on besoin de sécurité ? Le monde serait fade et nous n'aurions peut-être pas le goût d'y vivre", B. C. Ce livre fonde une nouvelle biologie de l'attachement. Il explique pourquoi, pour chacun d'entre nous, la vie est une conquête permanente, jamais fixée d'avance. Ni nos gènes ni notre milieu d'origine ne nous interdisent d'évoluer. Tout reste possible.

This 2006 book explores how people's subjective, felt experiences of their bodies in action provide part of the fundamental grounding for human cognition and language. Cognition is what occurs when the body engages the physical and cultural world and must be studied in terms of the dynamical interactions between people and the environment. Human language and thought emerge from recurring patterns of embodied activity that constrain ongoing intelligent behavior. We must not assume cognition to be purely internal, symbolic, computational, and disembodied, but seek out the gross and detailed ways that language and thought are inextricably shaped by embodied action. Embodiment and Cognitive Science describes the abundance of empirical evidence from many disciplines, including work on perception, concepts, imagery and reasoning, language and communication, cognitive development, and emotions and consciousness, that support the idea that the mind is embodied.

What is mind? What is its relationship to the physical world? Is consciousness a causative agent in the physical world? With much progress being made in the neurosciences, many have thought that these questions could be answered by reducing them to questions about physical systems such as the brain. But this approach has foundered on the core problem of consciousness: Why is it that some brain processes are accompanied by conscious awareness? This anthology points out new sources and unexamined paths of consciousness research. By presenting a wide spectrum of non-reductive theories, the volume

Addressing a key issue related to human nature, this book argues that the first-person experience of pure consciousness may soon be under threat from posthuman biotechnology. In exploiting the mind's capacity for instrumental behavior, posthumanists seek to extend human experience by physically projecting the mind outward through the continuity of thought and the material world, as through telepresence and other forms of prosthetic enhancements. Posthumanism envisions a biology/machine symbiosis that will promote this extension, arguably at the expense of the natural tendency of the mind to move toward pure consciousness. As each chapter of this book contends, by forcibly overextending and thus jeopardizing the neurophysiology of consciousness, the posthuman condition could in the long term undermine human nature, defined as the effortless capacity for transcending the mind's conceptual content. Presented here for the first time, the essential argument of this book is more than a warning; it gives a direction: far better to practice patience and develop pure consciousness and evolve into a higher human being than to fall prey to the Faustian temptations of biotechnological power. As argued throughout the book, each person must choose for him or herself between the technological extension of physical experience through mind, body and world on the one hand, and the natural powers of human consciousness on the other as a means to realize their ultimate vision.

Continuing the debate over whether consciousness causes behaviour or plays no functional role in it, leading scholars discuss the question in terms of neuroscience, philosophy, law and public policy.
