Em Ser e Tempo (1927), Heidegger argumenta que o conhecimento primordial do Dasein se dá no manuseio de entes mundanos. Merleau-Ponty, por sua vez, descreve na Fenomenologia da Percepção (1945) que o conhecimento é, antes de tudo, uma intencionalidade corporal intraduzível em termos proposicionais. Mais tarde, em What Computers Can’t Do (1972), Hubert Dreyfus usa a obra de ambos para apontar os equívocos do paradigma cognitivista, isto é, a abordagem dominante do então nascente campo da inteligência artificial. Finalmente, em The Embodied Mind: Cognitive Science and Human Experience (1991), a noção de enativismo - elaborada por Francisco Varela, Evan Thompson e Eleanor Rosch - surge como uma tentativa de tomar do cognitivismo e do conexionismo a hegemonia nas ciências cognitivas. Dito isso, o objetivo do artigo consiste em descrever o enativismo e apontar sua herança fenomenológica.

Resumen Se analizarán comparativamente los planteos y bases filosóficas de Samaja y Varela, Thompson y Rosch con el objetivo de señalar los diversos caminos de reflexión que ambas perspectivas delinean a pesar de tener una base común en el pensamiento autopoiético desarrollado por Maturana y Varela. En esta dirección, el autor argentino se centra en la importancia de la subjetividad normada en tanto herramienta para liberar a las sociedades de la eficacia biológica, mientras que los autores de De cuerpo presente se enfocan en la práctica mindfulness como instrumento para corporizar a la falta de fundamento. Palabras Clave: autopoiesis – enacción - mindfulness Abstract The different theoretical positions to which Samaja and Varela, Thompson and Rosch arrive, despite having a common basis in the autopoietic approach proposed by Maturana and Varela, will be analyzed comparatively. In this direction, the argentine author focuses on the importance of normative subjectivity as a tool to liberate societies from biological efficacy, whereas the authors of The Embodied Mind: Cognitive Science and Human Experience direct their attention to mindfulness practice as a way to embody groundlessness. Keywords: autopoiesis – enaction - mindfulness

A percepção, argumenta Merleau-Ponty, deve ser entendida menos como uma representação de inputs desassociados e mais como uma apreensão corporal irrefletida de Gestalten. Tal formulação encontra continuidade no contexto das ciências cognitivas na crítica ao representacionismo efetivada pelo paradigma do enativismo, assim formulado por Francisco Varela, Evan Thompson e Eleanor Rosche em Embodied Mind: Cognitive Science and Human Experience (1991). Demonstrar e examinar a abordagem enativista, apontando sua harmonia com a fenomenologia de Merleau-Ponty, constitui o objetivo do presente artigo.

This chapter examines human experience. It is necessary to have a disciplined perspective on human experience that can enlarge the domain of cognitive science to include direct experience. Such a perspective already exists in the form of mindfulness/awareness meditation. Mindfulness/awareness practice, phenomenological philosophy, and science are human activities; each is an expression of human embodiment. The chapter then looks at the Buddhist method of examining experience called mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness/awareness meditation can provide a natural bridge between cognitive science and human experience. Particularly impressive is the convergence among some of the main themes of Buddhist doctrine, phenomenology, and cognitive science—themes concerning the self and the relation between subject and object.

The study of ways of knowing is a major topic in psychology and cognitive science. However, one might argue that subjectivity and human experience as roots of knowing are seldom addressed, despite the perspectives that they may offer. Our work investigates the epistemic status of experience and the living body in knowledge processes. It asserts that human experience contains a myriad richness and argues that a first-person epistemology and precise methods are needed to genuinely conduct experiential research. The stakes of such a proposal are not only epistemological but also nourish an ethical and societal goal.
