This is the third of a series of talk-throughs by Robert M. Ellis of his book 'Absolutization'. It discusses section 3 of the book, on Embodied Meaning. It includes a general introduction to the distinction between embodied meaning and representationalism, the relationship between representationalism and absolutization, 12 different substitutions that occur in a disembodied approach as opposed to an embodied one, discontinuity as a feature of absolutization, and the issue of interpreting people's apparently absolute talk.
