Abstract

This chapter offers some concluding remarks and implications for the study of cognition if we accept that sense-making involves an ecological dimension that I defined as an enactive place. First, I look at the impact of thinking about cognition while considering the fundamental circularity that unavoidably characterizes the study of cognition from the perspective of the enactive approach. Later, I summarize the book’s central theses: the definition of sense-making as norm development, the description of the environment as an active ecological field, and the concept of enactive place. From there, I offer some clarifications of my proposals I consider pertinent on these three main subjects. I finally survey the possible applications of the study of enactive place and the challenges to materializing its scientific study.
