“…As we saw in the last section, affordances for "higher" cognition are simply among the aspects that can be found in this landscape. Once we understand our skilled engagement with this landscape better, we will also understand context sensitivity better (see Bruineberg & Rietveld, 2014;Kiverstein & Rietveld, 2012;Rietveld, 2008Rietveld, , 2012b. This brings the context back into cognitive science.…”

This series brings together work that takes cognitive science in new directions. Hitherto, philosophical reflection on cognitive science -or, perhaps better, philosophical contribution to the interdisciplinary field that is cognitive science -has for the most part come from philosophers with a commitment to a representationalist model of the mind.However, as cognitive science continues to make advances, especially in its neuroscience and robotics aspects, there is growing discontent with the representationalism of traditional philosophical interpretations of cognition. Cognitive scientists and philosophers have turned to a variety of sources -phenomenology and dynamic systems theory foremost among them to date -to rethink cognition as the direction of the action of an embodied and affectively attuned organism embedded in its social world, a stance that sees representation as only one tool of cognition, and a derived one at that.To foster this growing interest in rethinking traditional philosophical notions of cognition -using phenomenology, dynamic systems theory, and perhaps other approaches yet to be identified -we dedicate this series to "New Directions in Philosophy and Cognitive Science".

Understanding phenomenological differences in how affordances solicit action. An exploration

Affordances are possibilities for action offered by the environment. Recent research on affordances holds that there are differences in how people experience such possibilities for action. However, these differences have not been properly investigated. In this paper I start by briefly scrutinizing the existing literature on this issue, and then argue for two claims. First, that whether an affordance solicits action or not depends on its relevance to the agent's concerns. Second, that the experiential character of how an affordance solicits action depends on the character of the concern to which it is relevant. Concerns are conceived of as bodily forms of responsiveness, and solicitations are experienced through this responsiveness. The main aim of this paper is to make clear that an understanding of experiential differences in solicitations has to be based on a phenomenological appreciation of how one experiences one's responsiveness to those solicitations. In the remainder of the paper I show how such a phenomenological appreciation reveals several characteristics of our responsiveness and I briefly explore three of them: valence, force and mineness. In the final section I discuss the selfreferentiality of affordances in light of the current proposal, and argue that this selfreferentiality is broader than is typically acknowledged.
