8-10 November 2013, Torun, Poland

"Thinking with Hands, Eyes and Things"*

The claim that both the body and the environment are involved in our experience of the world is a banal claim. However, the point is what a great role in our mental processes is played by the whole body as well as its interactions with the environment. Cognition may involve integration with our tools, and we may even delegate some of our thinking to the environment. Conversely, there are many critical voices in answer to the statements above. We invite you to participate in the conference devoted to extra-neural aspects of cognition as well as controversies related to them.

[*"Thinking with Hands, Eyes and Things" is a paraphrase of a famous Bruno Latour’s sentence from: B. Latour. 1986. Visualisation and Cognition: Drawing Things Together. H. Kuklick, ed. Knowledge and Society Studies in the Sociology of Culture Past and Present. Jai Press, vol. 6.]
