In this paper I look into a problem concerning the characterization of the main
conceptual commitments of the ‘post-cognitivist’ theoretical framework. I first consider
critically a proposal put forward by Rowlands (2010), which identifies the theoretical nucleus of
post-cognitivism with a convergence of the theses of the extended and the embodied mind.
The shortcomings I find in this proposal lead me to an indepedent and wider issue concerning
the apparent tensions between functionalism and the embodied and enactive approaches
