We justify the need for better accounts of object recognition in artificial and natural intelligent agents and give a critical survey of the computational-postcomputational schism within the sciences of the mind. The enactive, dynamicist account of conscious perception is described as avoiding many problems of cognitivist functionalism, behaviourism, representationalism, emergentism, and dualism. We formalize the basic structure of the enactive, dynamicist theory of phenomenal consciousness and criticize the externalist presupposition of outside-world objects in this kind of theory. As a remedy, we suggest a sensorimotor account of objectual constitution which assigns an epistemic but not necessarily ontic priority to sense data.
