Reviews

It provides an important contribution to the enactive project of clarifying what cognition viewed as sense-making consist of. The book's originality lies in its unusual angle on the topic, namely by focussing on forms of sense-making ... . It offers plenty of interdisciplinary insight and both theoretical and empirical support to the idea that nonsense, far from being a marginal side-effect or the opposite of cognition, is a window into the very workings of the embodied mind. (Miriam Kyselo, Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, Vol. 18, 2019)
