Research on embodied cognition has not explored the many interesting relations

between plasticity, enculturation, learning and cognition. While these concepts and

phenomena have been certainly studied on their own, there is - however - little work in

the philosophy of cognitive science that has tried to integrate them. This thesis sets out

to provide a much needed (albeit probably imperfect) framework for the study and

integration of these concepts and phenomena. This framework aims to offer new

insights for researchers working at the intersection of philosophy of cognitive science,

philosophy of biology and philosophy of neuroscience
