In this work, I consider the critiques of Cartesian dualism, psychology, empiricism, and intellectualism as presented by Merleau-Ponty and Ryle. Both philosophers also criticize the language of science and causal thinking. Central to their work is the concept of the embodied mind, which encompasses intelligent behaviour and the inseparability of imagination from perception. They criticize scientific approaches, and the problems associated with explanatory causality and objective language to explain events and the experience of perception. While these methods can aid in understanding phenomena, it is crucial not to overlook the relationship between the body and the world, and the transcendental nature of language.
