Enactivism

Enactivism is a position in [[cognitive Science that argues that cognition arises through a dynamic interaction between an acting organism and its environment. It claims that the environment of an organism is brought about, or enacted, by the active exercise of that organism's sensorimotor processes. "The key point, Then, is that the species brings forth and specifies its own domain of problems...this domain does not exist "out There" in an environment that acts as a landing pad for organisms that somehow drop or parachute into the world. Instead, living beings and Their environments stand in relation to each other through mutual specification or codetermination". "Organisms do not passively receive information from Their environments, which they Then translate into internal representations. Natural cognitive systems...participate in the generation of meaning...engaging in transformational and not merely informational interactions: they enact a world."
