Notes

  1. I should add that de Haan is concerned with characterizing the existential stance in humans. She leaves open the possibility that some aspects of the existential stance are not unique to humans.

  2. De Haan’s approach here is representative of a broader philosophical movement trying to bridge enactivism and ecological psychology (Chemero, 2009; Rietveld & Kiverstein, 2014; Withagen, et al., 2017).
