The newspaper didn't do it for me this morning, so I read about Mendelssohn instead. His idea of sentiments, "knowledge arrived at through the senses," seems so akin to the idea of embodied cognition.

Moses Mendelssohn is always a good replacement for the newspaper. Yes, I think there would be some connection between his ideas and embodied cognition. That would make for an interesting future post...

Truly interesting! After reading this, I feel an affinity with Moses Mendelssohn and look forward to reading more about his life and his ideas.

Yeah, I was fortunate to take a graduate class on aesthetics with a Mendelssohn scholar!
