Dear all,
Revista Estudos Hegelianos – Special Issue
This issue seeks to gather contributions on the dialogue between Hegel and contemporary philosophy of cognitive science, with a focus on embodied cognition, ecological psychology, social epistemology, non-human cognition, and artificial intelligence. It invites explorations of Hegelian approaches and critiques of the cognitive science, also considering relations to aesthetics, language, and ethics within the Hegelian system.
Some examples of questions of major interest are: to what extent does the Hegelian project approximate (or distance itself from) research trends in the current empirical sciences of the mind? Can Hegelian dialectics help us think about the cultural and political dimensions of advances in artificial intelligence? Are artificial intelligences spiritual (geistige) artefacts? Are Hegel's criticisms of Kantian transcendentalism relevant for contemporary cognitivists? To what extent does his reflection on non-human organisms help us think about advances in embodied theories of cognition, including their ethical aspects?
In line with the interweaving of practical and theoretical procedures through which Hegel conceives cognition, the editors invite contributors to also think about cognition from the perspective of its relationship with other dimensions of the Hegelian system, such as aesthetic experience, language, and ethics.
