This dissertation explores the notion of embodied mind in William James’s radical empiricism, by attributing it to the objective nucleus of experience and subjective, or mental aspects, that emerge from this nucleus in its continuity with the world, in parallel with the contemporary notion of “embodied mind”. In his work Essays in radical empiricism, published in 1912, James gathers, systematically, the radicalization of the notion of experience. The author presents the term “pure experience” as a philosophical reorientation regarding empiricism problem about the origin of knowledge. This study presents three descriptions of pure experience, that represent the notion of experience developed by James in his radical empiricism. Subsequently, the term objective nucleus of experience is presented as an expression of embodied mind. Establishing the continuity between James’s late philosophy and his psychology, the topographical metaphor is explored as a model for the mind by the author, a model that considers mind as a dynamical aspect, and the possibility of building conceptual models. This study identifies the elements bridging radical empiricism and the notion of embodied mind, contained in James’s objective nucleus of experience and his topographical metaphor.
