Madeleine reasons without a body
Madeleine, a patient discussed by Oliver Sacks, used a wheelchair, was blind, and was unable to read Braille. In effect, she lacked a body. Yet she still managed to acquire commonsense knowledge from books that were read to her.
Doug Lenat (1992), as articulated by Hubert Dreyfus (1992).
