| Research Abstract |
Embodied knowledge is a type of knowledge where the body knows how to act(e. g., how to touch type). It is not confined only to motor skills, but is concerned with the variety of human experiences which occur within the Lifeworld. This research project aimed to develop a theoretical framework for understanding the embodied knowledge inclusively, based on the phenomenological methodology. In order to achieve this goal, we described in detail the three major aspects of body schema : bodily movements, spatial behaviors, bodily interactions. As a result of thorough descriptions, we made clear the process by which the body becomes the 'knowing subject'.
