“体贴天理”与具身认知

具身认知在澄清自笛卡尔以来身心二元,以心为超越身体的主体等认识误区上有莫大的价值,然而产生这种误区的根源不是思想,而是身心分离的日常体验,这种体验虽然普通,却并非没有问题。转化这种体验,专心于身体的感觉,使身心合一才是解决离身认知的关键,在此方面程子“以敬体贴天理”的修养之路可补充具身认知理论多于实践的不足。
Embodied cognition is of great value in regard to clarifying the misconceptions of psycho-physical dualism and mind’s transcending body since Descartes. However, the reason for these misconceptions lies in our daily experience of separating mind from body rather than in our mind. Such experience, though commonly seen, is somewhat incorrect. Hence, the key to eliminating disembodied cognition is to transform the experience and pay close attention to our body, thus realizing the psycho-physical unity. Cheng Yi(aka Cheng Zi)held that tianli 天理(heavenly principle)can only be attained through jing 敬(seriousness). His proposition is supplementary to embodied cognition which highlights theory instead of practice
