4e Cognition and Classical Religions' Anthropology and Ontology

4e cognition offers resources supporting an anthropology and an ontology that overcome mind/body and related dualisms, dualisms which contradict the original understandings of the Western monotheisms and of some Asian religions. 4e cognition  embraces a holism with respect to the human organism, enabling a rapprochement with the Hebrew biblical, New Testament, and Qur’anic view of the human being as a psycho-somatic unity. For 4e cognition, the human organism comes embedded or emplaced in an environment with affordances, as it enacts meaning in co-constituting its  lifeworld. The cruciality of social relationships and nature resonate with Western scriptures and with Mahayana Buddhism, Ruism/Confucianism, and Daoism. 4e cognition  extends the joint project of organism and environment to evolution, with a mutual adaptation or specification of organism and environment. The fit of organism and environment finds resonance with classical religions, insofar as they uphold the goodness of creation or of the world.
