At one point in the conversation I mention the concept of 'grip', which is used by philosophers and psychologists interested in embodied (and specifically 'enactive') cognition, and which has its origin in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, specifically the following text:

  • Merleau-Ponty, M. (2002/1945). Phenomenology of Perception (C. Smith Trans.). London: Routledge.
  • For further reading about the ideas associated with 'embodied' cognition, here's the Stanford Encyclopedia entry – §2.4 addresses focuses on enactivism in particular:
