If I'm not my Brain, Who Is?

For Friday, please complete your critique and revision of your classmate's Knowledge Issues and email same to her.  For Monday, fortified by the understanding this critique provides, please compose two KIs for the article on Embodied Cognition and post them here in Comments.  Beyond that, good luck on exams, and remember to check back before Thanksgiving for your vacation fun.

    1. What does the theory of embodied cognition suggest about our ways of knowing?

    2. Can we conceive any thought that is not at its root metaphorical? How could one define an idea without a metaphor?
    Is language a metaphor?

    Could our cognition be restricting our knowledge of the world? ( referring to the influence upon our cognition from the physical world).

    Given that the brain clearly does not work on its own, to what extent can one depend only on their brain?

    Did our emotions and values affect the cognition?

    Could cognition represent our background and personality?
