This module introduces themes of embodiment, extended mind, and enaction. These constitute a radical departure from psychological theories that rely on mind-brain identity, and that view the mind/brain computationally.
Embodied and Enactive theories of cognition will be the principal focus, but the module will introduce these in the context of several other important strands in contemporary cognitive science. Topics covered may include Extended Minds, Embodiment, Ecological Psychology, Enaction, mind and life, and the relationship between individual and collective accounts of cognition. Together these topics span the emerging field of post-cognitive theory. Classes will consist of group discussions of material students have read in preparation. Sample materials can be viewed at https://postcognitivism.wordpress.com/readings/.
