Relevance Realization Theory
- John Vervaeke explains the difference between a theory of relevance and a theory of relevance realization.
- He argues for a scientific theory of relevance realization, analogous to Darwin's theory of evolution.
Embodied and Embedded Cognition
- Vervaeke emphasizes the embodied and embedded nature of relevance realization, rejecting empiricist and romantic notions.
- He argues that the body is constitutive of cognitive agency, not merely a vessel for the mind.
Transjective Relevance
- Relevance is transjective, co-created by the environment and the embodied brain.
- Vervaeke uses the example of a graspable bottle to illustrate this relational aspect of relevance.
