The other thing about an embodied perspective is that I have a hunch it may
be necessary to understand even inanimate matter from a scientific and not
just a personal perspective. (I mention this in case there are any
physicists/chemists around who care to comment). IOW we won't understand how
matter coheres in its myriad, diverse forms - if we don't understand water,
gases etc as *integral wholes* and not just assemblies of pieces.
The great deficiency of our mechanistic worldview, in its current simplistic
form, is that machines are artificial assemblies of parts, and so science
tends to view all things similarly. But actually natural things and
organisms are integral wholes, "naturally assembled" and in that way
fundamentally different. .
