Abstract
In showing how meaning and human thinking and practices
are rooted in the tactile-kinesthetic body, "The Roots of Thinking"
provides an interesting and welcome new perspective on cognition.
Maxine Sheets-Johnstone (1990) leaves no room to doubt the need for
a thorough "corporeal turn" in cognitive science.
Keywords
analogical thinking, animate form, concepts, evolution,
tactile-kinesthetic body.
