Blog on Embodied Virtues and Expertise

Richard Menary has brought his work on an Australian Research Project to my attention.  This embodied cognition business seems to be moving along undeterred by powerful criticism! 


Lead Investigator Dr. Richard Menary, CI Dr. David Simpson, PI Prof. Shaun Gallagher, PI Prof. Daniel Hutto, CI Prof. Christopher Winch.
