Chapter 14: Intelligence

Chapter 14: Intelligence “The world is not what I think, but what I live through.” Maurice Merleau-Ponty “Intelligence in action is the application of cognition outside of the context in which it involved [...] the flexibility to be able to transfer those skills.”  Nathan Emery ( Bird Brain ) Operationally Defining Intelligence as Metapraxis with Situational Reuse Hubert Dreyfus emphasizes that organisms and humans are not rule-following machines. Dreyfus’ Heideggerian conception of intelligence does not involve cognitivist rule-entailed algorithmic manipulation of symbolic representations. For embodied and enactive frameworks, especially radical versions (Chemero, Hutto & Myin), intelligence needs a new definition based in practice. Similarly, Pierre Bourdieu would challenge intelligence as defined under “good old fashioned action theory” with his conception of practice theory.
