…we really have to change the basic concepts that we use in thinking about the body and thinking about perception and feelings and thoughts and behavior. We need to change not even just the concepts, but the kind of concepts. As a society we have had great success with reductive concepts, and we don't want to lose them because all of our medicine and all of our physiology is in those concepts. But for a functional understanding of a living system, in order to understand how we live as physical bodies, those concepts don't work. So we need a different conception of the living body as an interactional system…
