BODY ENGLISH: THE DILEMMA OF THE PHYSICAL IN THE OBJECTIFICATION OF SUBJECTIVE KNOWLEDGE STRUCTURES: THE ROLE OF THE BODY IN THINKING
Abstract
Evidence is presented to show that the body plays a continuing and fundamental part in the process of thinking and the development of the knowledge used to think. The conclusion is that, if this is true, then there is a crucial part of our subjective knowledge base which cannot be represented in an objectified scheme, whether for artificial intelligence (ai) or information retrieval (ir), and therefore we cannot expect to get a computer to think as a human being thinks.
