Lived Body
From the phenomenological perspective, the lived body is experienced not as a mere object but as the subject's own mode of being, through which one engages with and perceives the world around them.
Intentionality
Phenomenology views intentionality as the characteristic of consciousness that it is always about something, and embodiment figures in as the grounding of our intentional acts in the world.
Motor Intentionality
This refers to the inherent tendency of our embodied existence to move and act purposefully within the world, often in ways that precede explicit thought or decision-making.
Inter-corporeality
This aspect of embodiment signifies the way our own bodily experience is intertwined with the bodies of others, forming a pre-reflective intersubjective space where we engage with others.
Pre-reflective Self-Awareness
This term refers to the inbuilt awareness a person has of their own embodied existence, without a conscious, reflective thought process. It's a fundamental way we experience being a body.
Spatiality of the Body
In phenomenology, this term relates to how our body's orientation and position in space inform our perception and understanding of the spatial world around us.
Bodily Schema
The bodily schema is a dynamic system of sensory-motor capacities that operates below the level of conscious awareness and allows the body to function effectively in the world.
Temporal Embodiment
Phenomenology describes temporal embodiment as the experience of time that is grounded in the body's rhythms and its interactions with the world, disrupting the traditional linear view of time.
Embodied Cognition
This concept asserts that our cognitive processes are deeply rooted in the body's interactions with the world, rather than being purely abstract operations.
Phenomenal Field
The phenomenal field includes all experiences as they are subjectively felt, taking into consideration the embeddedness of the perceiving body in the spatial, temporal, and interpersonal world.
