The long-standing mind-body problem, traditionally framed by Cartesian dualism, has led to theoretical impasses in contemporary philosophy of mind. By critiquing dualistic foundations, phenomenology offers a new perspective on embodied cognition and introduces a constellation of concepts. Yet, these concepts are often presented as scattered insights. This research provides a structural rereading of the phenomenological project of embodied cognition to uncover an inner logic connecting them, arguing that this unifying principle emerges from a paradigm shift: the move from causal to constitutive explanations of cognition. Employing a descriptive-analytical method and drawing on the causal-constitutive distinction in contemporary philosophy of science, the study analyzes phenomenology’s internal structure. Findings emerge on two levels: first, these scattered concepts manifest a single “Constitutive Turn,” traced across three domains—the redefinition of the “cognitive agent,” the “cognitive world,” and the “boundaries of cognition.” Second, at a deeper level, phenomenology, by framing constitution as a diachronic process intertwined with causality, transcends the standard causal-constitutive distinction, offering a dynamic and dialectical model for understanding cognition. These findings are significant not only for providing a coherent framework for the phenomenology of embodied cognition but also for furnishing a conceptual tool to engage pivotal debates in the philosophy of mind and address theoretical challenges with a non-reductive framework.
Keywords: Phenomenology, Embodied Cognition, Causality, Constitution, Lived Body, Diachronic Constitution.
