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
Oct 15 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

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

These include questions of the emergence/fundamentality of space and time, the philosophical analysis and scientific role of chance, the relationship between physics and agency, and the possibility,[...]
