Corpo, cognição e vontade: aproximação e distanciamento entre Schopenhauer e a Teoria Enativista

Abstract

eAbstract: This paper sketches a discussion a- bout the mind-body problem from a confron- tation between Schopenhauer’s metaphysics

of Will and enactivist theory. We show schope- nhauerian thesis about primacy of will on inte- llect, and then the relationship between life

and mind accordingly the notions of autopoie- sis and adaptative autonomy of enactivist theo- ry. Our main aim is to point out a possible dia- logue between two theoretical purposes ta- king as common point the criticism of a tradi- tional concept of cognition.
