Expanding the Mind–Body–Environment Connection to Enhance the Development of Cultural Humility
Abstract
:1. Introduction
Background
There exists no… person… for whom thought has been extruded from the body. That is, there is no real person whose embodiment plays no role in meaning, whose meaning is purely objective and defined by the external world, and whose language can fit the external world with no significant role played by mind, brain, or body. Because our conceptual systems grow out of our bodies, meaning is grounded in and through our bodies (p. 6).
