We argue in the paper that, although some enactivist theoristsĄŻ suggestions appear fresh and eye-opening, the claim that the explanatory gap is (dis)solved is much overstated. %K Sensorimotor Approach %K Enaction %K Phenomenal Consciousness %K Externalism %K Explanatory Gap %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=37627
