SEVENTH CEP
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Enactive Consciousness: Perception,
Intersubjectivity and Empathy
SATURDAY JUNE 28 - SUNDAY 29
JUNE 2003
St Anne's College, Oxford University
more
information
The
conference aims to explore enactive approaches to consciousness, with
particular reference to perception and intersubjectivity.
The term 'enactive cognitive science' derives from The Embodied Mind (1991)
by F. Varela, E. Thompson and E. Rosch, where it was used to describe
a new direction in thinking about the mind, influenced by phenomenological
and ecological approaches. Much work done in cognitive psychology and
computational modelling has been influenced by this and related perspectives
over the last 10 to 15 years. However it is only recently that the enactive
perspective has been applied to issues within consciousness studies.
