Strategic Focus
Based on the study of the phenomenological and hermeneutic traditions, the group aims to develop the research program of non-Cartesian cognitive sciences, also known as 4EA (embodied, embedded, enactive, extended and affective cognition). Additionally, the group seeks to generate new insights on the mind-body-world interface, and finally, to explore these perspectives' potential applications to health-related sciences, psychology, technical philosophy, ethics, and ecology.
Research Areas and Topics
- Philosophy of technique and technology.
- Science and philosophy.
- Naturalized phenomenology and non-cartesian cognitive sciences.
- Theories of health and illness.
- Hermeneutics, ethics, and politics.
