Dear friends,

As you know the Syrian Transitional government with support of Turkish mercenaries took over two neighbourhoods in Alleppo, after a siege and continious shelling.  There are messages of abductions, executions and rapes. What is really happening is difficult to know, because there is a blockade for journalist and international organizations. Over 100.000 civilians are (again) displaced. To support them with basic needs, the Foundation of the Free Woman in Syria started a campaign. Please find the call in the attachment,

Kindest regards

The foundation of the Free Woman in Syria

Friends,

I would like to invite you to a deeper inquiry into the crisis of modernity through an exploration of the concept of embodied cognition.

The contemporary turn toward embodied cognition presents itself as a correction to centuries of privileging abstract reason. However, modern cognitive science originated from an ambition to build intelligence rather than to understand living experience. What the mind now calls "embodied cognition" often remains a post-mortem account—a disembodied conception of the body.

If embodied cognition truly began with life, it would begin with children, whose senses remain unmediated by abstraction. We must also consider how early literacy reorganizes perception and the very functioning of the senses.

SensingBeing.in aims to open a door back to the living body—not as a metaphor or data, but as our primary way of being in the world. I have shared further reflections on these themes below:

Cognition as a Technical Project

Modern cognitive science's origins lie in the ambition to build intelligence rather than understanding lived experience.

The Silence Around Children

True embodiment is most evident in children, whose forming minds and bodies are fully responsive and unmediated.

Early Literacy and the Reorientation of the Senses

Literacy transforms how we perceive and attend to the world, fundamentally altering sensory function.

The Dead Body in the Living Discourse

"Embodied cognition" frequently serves as a story the mind tells, rather than a reflection of living processes.

I welcome your thoughts on these observations.
