Abstract: The range, diversity and the different metaphysical assumptions of Embodied Cognition (EC) hypotheses that have been formulated in recent years, a) do not allow for their pragmatic, problem-solving oriented adoption by Cognitive Science and (b) favor their fragmentary use by various scientific and practical fields, resulting in misunderstandings concerning their content and validity. Through a brief overview, this presentation aims to highlight the reasons why research towards a unified theory of embodied cognition can contribute to solving old and modern problems regarding Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence.
