Meeting Description:

The main theme of the Conference is “The 4E's [Embodied, Embedded, Enactive,
Extended] Approach to Mind/Brain”.

The Conference will deal with topics related to approaches that assume that
our mind – in general – is determined by 4 fundamental characteristics:
corporeal (embodied) in relation to our senses and relationship with physical
reality; embedded in relation to the social and cultural context; enactive,
through the subject's active participation in the environment; extended
through tools, appliances, other subjects, etc.

The purpose of the conference will be to debate these hypotheses (crossings,
dissimilarities, new paths) through the perspective of Philosophy of Mind, but
also of Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Neurosciences and Artificial
Intelligence.
