On the Embodied and Sense-Making Nature of the Artful Mind

• The over-reaching purpose of this chapter is to address the sense-making and embodied nature of the artful mind. In doing so, I will reformulate Merlin Donald’s (2006) governing cognitive principles for art, advocating the enactive, emergent, situated, and distributed aspects of art and aesthetic experience as sense-making practices that are compatible with a radical view of embodied cognitive science. I therefore introduce, disentangle and present a more radical view of the human and artful mind, i.e. the idea that mind emerges in the interaction of an agent with a material and social environment as a result of sensorimotor activity. In short, sense-making practices. I then address some implications to the artful mind related to the topics presented here. In doing so, I reformulate Donald’s seven governing cognitive principles of the artful mind - from a rather traditional cognitivist view - to a more radically embodied perspective. The chapter ends with some concluding remarks.
