Foundational images
What does Damasio mean by a "foundational image" (p 197)? What role do these foundational images play in his theoretical account of the mind-body problem?
When Damasio introduces foundational image, he mentions that they are images of some kind of body event, whether then event happens in the depth of the body or in some specialized sensory device near its periphery. Certain foundational images are always present and they are there. However some maps are base on the world that is related to the organisms interior. On the other hand certain maps relate to the world outside, the physical world of objects that interact with the organism at specific regions of its shell.
