Varela, Francisco J.

The embodied mind : cognitive science and human experience. - First MIT Press paperback edition - 308 pages : 21 cm.

The Embodied Mind provides a unique, sophisticated treatment of the spontaneous and reflective dimension of human experience.

Toward that end, they develop a dialogue between cognitive science and Buddhist meditative psychology and situate it in relation to other traditions such as phenomenology and psychoanalysis
