I do not address the main argument of the book, but sum up a line of thought that has gradually taken form since I began to read Confucian texts. I explain what I learned about reading Confucianism from my teacher Tu Weiming, and why I could not follow the philosophical[...]

Embodied Cognition and Prosthetics: Are Our Tools Part of Our Bodies and Minds? 4:00 pm
Embodied Cognition and Prosthetics: Are Our Tools Part of Our Bodies and Minds? @ Heyman Center Second Floor Common Room

Embodied cognition theorists emphasize the role of the body and the environment in constituting mental processes.

Workshop on the Future of the Foundations of Physics
Workshop on the Future of the Foundations of Physics @ Pupin Hall Theory Center, 8th flr, Columbia U
Oct 26 – Oct 27 all-day
Tickets
