Love and Philosophy | Phenomenology, Cognitive Science, and Authenticity with Michael Wheeler @waymaking23 | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
From Searle on TV to Heideggerian Robots, join Michael Wheeler and Mirko Prokop as they dive into Heidegger’s phenomenology and its relevance for cognitive science as well as Michael’s recent work in the nascent field of the cognitive arts and humanities. Touching on philosophical and existential questions about the nature of mind and our relationship to the world and others, they explore the structure of human experience, its bodily, biological and social dimensions and discuss how artistic improvisation and creativity can lead us to see authenticity as the basic dynamic of thinking.
