#71 Dialectic, Democracy & the Phenomenology of Double Consciousness with philosopher Lucius Outlaw #dialectic #democracy #doubleconsciousness #philsky #webdubois

Loving and Knowing is one of my favourite philosophy papers of recent years. Listen to the pod then read the paper. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Asked two senior philosophers I admire for some reading suggestions and both replied the same day with detailed, thoughtful guidance. And just read an excellent PhD thesis in hermeneutical injustice. Our field has so much to love. #PhilSky

Here is "AI Consciousness: A Centrist Manifesto". I've been working on this feverishly because the issue seems to me so urgent - and I'm worried extreme positions on both sides are becoming locked in, when the best way forward is in the centre. Please read it! philpapers.org/rec/BIRACA-4

We have been working on this for the last five years, and it's great that our paper will be published in Synthese. philsci-archive.pitt.edu/26226/ Ecological psychology is a good fit for perspectival realism.

Perspectival Realism + Ecological Psychology = Ecological Perspectivism "Science offers knowledge of reality in terms of affordances, which are relational to the instruments and abilities of scientific communities." #PhilSci #PsycSci

Jorge Luis Borges was born OTD in 1899. “Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.” 🦋🦫🌱🗃️🧠 #PhilSci #PhilSky

Neuroscience needs a new paradigm: the brain is not a machine | By Nicole Rust “The brain is a dynamic complex system—like the weather or a megacity—whose parts interact via feedback loops that are impossible to study in isolation from each other.” iai.tv/articles/neu... #philsky #philsci #neuro

📹 Philosopher Ezquiel Di Paolo discusses the idea that individuality is formed through, not against, the collective. #loveandphilosophy #philosophy #power youtube.com/shorts/LViHD...

Well I'll be damned if my impassioned reading of @alvanoe.bsky.social and enactivist philosophy didn't finally intersect with my career as a middle school teacher. Thank you @lovephilosophy.substack.com for creating the safe, curious spaces that inspire such clear speech. pca.st/jan8cc3f

✎Drawing on David Graeber's work & predictive processing theory, Julian explores play as a fundamental drive aimed at creating & resolving surprise. Playful environments encourage creativity, critical thinking & joy. Play might be the loving attitude a person has when travelling between worlds (!)

❣️ Ezequiel Di Paolo & Mirko explore the dynamics of human interaction, participatory sense-making, how to hold the contradiction between our individual world & all the worlds co-creating it, & the embodied and enactive approach to cognitive science. lovephilosophy.substack.com/p/bringing-f...

Listening on the train to an insightful podcast episode @lovephilosophy.substack.com with Dr. Ezequiel Di Paolo on #enactivism & #socialcognition. It’s helping me clarify how I engage his work in my dissertation on embodied experiences of migrants with VSCs. #intersex youtu.be/aZUtvjYkBzc?...

Algorithms don't play & animals only play when they feel safe. ❤️ Ep 65 with Julian Kiverstein (Amsterdam Medical) looks at how play relates to surprise, risk, & our capacity to handle uncertainty.

So @fotis-tsiroukis.bsky.social , whose PhD I have the honour to supervise, has produced a joyful podcast with me about love & philosophy.. perhaps a fun listening experience for those wondering what #philosophy of science in practice may entail open.spotify.com/episode/3kbQ... #philsci 🧪

🎤Today's tech pushes us into either/or mindsets but life is not quantized and living is complex. This conversation is about how to reimagine software architecture to include real life uncertainty & complexity. An urgent step, remembering the feeling of being alive. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Just finished a fascinating 2-hour talk with neuropsychoanalyst Mark Solms on the @lovephilosophy.substack.com podcast — about the affective neuroscience of love & the evolution of #consciousness. I’ve followed his work since 2021, always enjoy hearing his insights open.spotify.com/episode/5Myg...

Should we cite science fiction inspirations in academic papers? What science fiction is shaping the future today? Is this an academic concern now? #loveandphilosophy #technology #wiredmagazine #kevinkelly

We’ve all been going through a lot. How can we manage? It helps to consider the ‘third entity’ that arises from authentic interaction, the basic weave of daily ‘relation’ that remains the fulcrum and calibrating tapestry of our world, laying down paths, even if they are not always ‘the right ones’

Wonderful to chat with the legendary Kevin Kelly, founding editor of #WIRED magazine, about his pioneering paths in complexity, travel as a skill, life as both paradoxical & optimistic, why sci-fi matters, & how to make our hills rather than get stuck hill-climbing others lovephilosophy.substack.com

Thanks to the podcast @lovephilosophy.substack.com, I learned about Tim Ingold’s research on anthropology, embodied skills of perception, and “animated cognition”, as well as this interesting book. I added it to my long reading list. www.routledge.com/The-Life-of-...
