Abstract

The aim of this article is to contribute to spread the enactive principles to design a theory of mind - and extensively, to provide new foundations for Artificial Intelligence. This theory has lately been progressively modifying the conviction that the mind is, above all, centered on the management of concepts. The abstract mind and its symbolic support have been the pillars of the cognitive paradigm, base of the traditional Artificial Intelligence. However, results obtained from the 1990's about the embodiment and situational cognition, completed in the last years with the updating carried out by authors as the neurophysiologist Francisco Varela, have permitted to define an alternative theoretical construct towards computationalism. We attempt to show a historical tour up to date and the problems that cognitive sciences have encountered in this trip to lay the foundations of some new pillars for a theory that allows understanding the mind.
