AVILA CANAMARES, IGNACIO. PERCEPTION AND SPATIAL THOUGHT THE REDUCTIONIST VEIN OF THE ENACTIVE APPROACH. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2015, vol.64, n.157, pp.191-214. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v64n157.43027.

In this paper I explore a certain reductionist thread in Noë's enactive approach. First I argue that his view about our perceptual encounter with the intrinsic properties of objects demands a revisionist relational metaphysics to be successful. Then, I argue that Noë's account of the explanatory role of perception in spatial thought requires a revisionist view about our everyday spatial concepts. Finally, I suggest that at the basis of these forms of revisionism there is a reductionist understanding of perceptual egocentricity that must be abandoned for the sake of a more substantive account of perception and its explanatory role in thought.

Palabras clave : A. Noë; spatial concepts; egocentricity; enactive view; elational metaphysics.
