The aim of the analyzes carried out in this paper is to show that within the multitude of theo­ries of per­ception which center their main presuppositions around the idea of action and embo­di­ment, we can distinguish a body of approaches, which characteristically emphasize the following claims: that it is the living organism that should serve as perceiving subject; that perceptual states are not only a form of action but primarily a form of consciousness; that perceptual information is obtained by perceiving subjects from the environment by means of so-called perceptual invariants (i.e. struc­tural indicators, which allow organisms to recognize such perceptual properties as co­lor, shape, size, intensity of sound, type and direction of smell, tactilely given texture, etc.).
Celem analiz przeprowadzanych w tym artykule jest wykazanie, że w wielości teorii percepcji, które koncentrują swoje główne założenia wokół idei działania i ucieleśnienia, możemy wyróżnić zbiór podejść, które charakterystycznie podkreślają następujące twierdzenia: że żywy orga­nizm powinien służyć jako podmiot postrzegający; że stany percepcyjne są nie tylko formą dzia­łania, ale przede wszystkim formą świadomości; że informację percepcyjną uzyskuje się przez po­strze­ganie podmiotów ze środowiska za pomocą tzw. niezmienników percepcyjnych (tj. wskaź­ników struk­turalnych, które pozwalają organizmom rozpoznać takie właściwości percepcyjne, jak kolor, kształt, wielkość, natężenie dźwięku, rodzaj i kierunek zapachu, dotykalnie sprawdzalna tek­stura itp.).
