Continuing from the last post, see this article of the above name. E.g., this from p. 21 on embodied nonduality and its creative aspects, the latter emphasized in Bryant's synthetic a priori:
"Pragmatism is characterized by (1) a profound respect for the
richness, depth, and complexity of human experience and cognition, (2)
an evolutionary perspective that appreciates the role of dynamic
change in all development (as opposed to fixity and finality),
and (3) recognition that human cognition and creativity arise
in response to problematic situations that involve values,
interests, and social interaction. The principle
of continuity encompasses the fact that apparently novel aspects of
thought and social interaction arise naturally via increased
complexity of the organism-environment interactions that
constitute experience. Pragmatists thus argue that all of our
traditional metaphysical and epistemological dualisms (e.g.,
mind/body, inner/outer, subject/object, concept/percept, reason/emotion,
knowledge/imagination, and theory/practice) are merely
abstractions from the interactive (enactive) process that is
experience. Such distinctions are not absolute ontological
dichotomies. Sometimes they serve us well, but oftentimes they
serve us quite poorly, depending on what problems we are
investigating, what values we have, and what the socio-cultural
context is."
