Reason is not disembodied

Reason is not disembodied, as the tradition has largely held, but arises from the nature of our brains, bodies, and bodily experi­ences... . The same neural and cognitive mechanisms that allow us to perceive and move around also create our conceptual sys­tems and modes of reason. To understand reason, we must under­stand the details of our visual system, our motor system, and the general mechanisms of neural binding. Reason is not a transcen­dent feature of the universe or of disembodied mind. Instead, it is shaped crucially by the peculiarities of our human bodies, by the re­markable details of the neural structure of our brains, and by the specifics of our everyday functioning in the world.
