- New paper: I explore the possibility of integrating enactivism and the Free Energy Principle to address life and mind. I examine some of the arguments in favour and against their integration, and claim that something close to it is possible. link.springer.com/chapter/10.1... #philosophy #philsky
- Drawing from the latest literature, I show that even if the FEP by itself doesn't say much about life or mind specifically, it can be used to model the sense-making dynamics of organisms as described by the enactivists. The point is not to conflate operational, cognitive, and statistical boundaries.Dec 4, 2024 10:51
- There is also a nice discussion about why I think that sense-making does not fall into the 'hard problem of content' that radical enactivists talk about. Cognition requires a non-representational form of content, and sense-making is just that.
- Here is an open-access, pre-print version of the paper: www.researchgate.net/publication/... But if anybody wants the pdf of the published version, reach out to me and I'll send it over.
