It seeks to establish some connections between the philosophy of embodiment, the enactivist approach, and two representatives of the classical period: Jacobi and Kierkegaard. As a hypothesis, it is maintained that aspects of the thought of Jacobi and Kierkegaard are not only reduced to being antecedents of the philosophy of embodiment in its debate with the representationalist-computational model of the mind but, at the same time, they allow us to overcome some problems that present the enactivist model of an extended mind, particularly as it relates to the identity and historicity of the self
