Comments
Traditionally, philosophy, psychology, and linguistics used to focus on
the brain when it comes to explain and understand cognition. This view has
been challenged in recent years both by philosophical arguments and
empirical evidence showing that cognitive processes can only be understood
if bodily processes are taken into account.
The seminar will start with a discussion of the main philosophical issues.
Afterwards, empirical papers from psychology and linguistics providing
evidence for embodied cognition will be read.
If you are interested in participating, please contact one of the
professors early in the semester and state why the topic is of interest to
you. Only a limited number of places is available. close
