Title
Why enactivists should care about Wittgenstein
Author
Abstract
There is now an established literature on the link between later Wittgenstein and enactivist approaches in cognitive science. However, is this link not just a matter for card carrying Wittgensteinians? Can enactivists not manage perfectly well without Wittgenstein? In this paper, I show why some enactivists should care about Wittgenstein. Focusing on the enactivist view, "Sensorimotor Identity". I argue that proponents of this view can use Wittgensteinian considerations to resolve an issue confronting their view and thereby shore up their proposed dissolution of the explanatory gap. Some enactivists thus have in fact much to gain by engaging with Wittgenstein.
