History of Distributed Cognition
In philosophy and cognitive science a range of recent theories argue that
the mind is not just brain-based but is distributed across the brain, body
and world. This workshop series, part of a larger, AHRC-funded project,
explores the historical expression of related notions of the mind as
distributed.
Email Miranda.Anderson@ed.ac.uk for more information or with any queries. Twelve participants will meet at each of the closed workshops to present a 25 minute paper and join in roundtable discussions. It is expected that the workshop participants will have watched and will engage with the eight specially created virtual seminars by influential philosophers working on current debates and hypotheses about distributed cognition, and will reflect on the expression of these notions in their own period.
