 Further, the importance for Mead of evolutionary processes and contact experience in the genesis and development of the self and mind opens the door to the integration of his philosophy and cognitive science in such areas as sensorimotor enactivism (Baggio 2021) and the extended (Madzia 2013) and embodied mind (McVeigh 2020; Madzia 2016). Notably, the primacy of the hand’s role in Mead’s theory of perception lends itself to current cognitive accounts of the embodied mind and the development of human intelligence and culture (Madzia 2017).
