Research on the Foundation of Dreyfus’ Criticism Against Artificial Intelligence and Its Social Effectiveness Abstract: Dreyfus critiqued symbolic artificial intelligence through the lens of “skillful coping”, highlighting the non-reflective aspect of human intelligence and the significance of the body in cognitive processes. This critique offers a fresh perspective on human action, practice, and meaning. Despite advancements like neural networks post-symbolic AI, Dreyfus’s critique remains relevant and continues to offer valuable insights for the advancement of artificial intelligence, given its fundamental exploration of human intelligence.

The Body-Related Controversy in Embodied Cognition: An Analysis of the Dreyfus-Collins Debate Abstract: Against the backdrop of the embodied turn in cognitive science, Hubert Dreyfus and Harry Collins engaged in a sustained and in-depth debate over the role of the body in intelligent behavior. Based on the phenomenological tradition, Dreyfus argued that human cognition is inherently embodied and situated. Collins, from a sociological perspective, contended that social practices, rather than the biological body, constitute the core of human cognition. This paper begins by tracing the origins of the debate and analyzes the theoretical divergences between the two scholars from epistemological, ontological, and methodological perspectives. It concludes with a critical reflection aimed at uncovering the substantive implications of this debate and its contemporary significance in the age of artificial intelligence. Key Words: Embodied cognition; Body; Intelligence; Dreyfus; CollinsIssue:Volume 48, lssue 8, August 2026Page: 26-32
