Since its origins in 2011, this workshop is an annual encounter that aims at bringing together researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds: philosophers, cognitive scientists, and biologists working on issues of common interest. It is addressed to graduate students and early career scholars that have obtained their PhDs within the last three years. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): consciousness and cognitive phenomenology; human cognition, nonhuman cognition, and artificial intelligence; enactive approaches to biology and cognition; philosophy of functions; implications of transhumanism; cognition, adaptation and evolutionary theory; natural kinds in philosophy of biology and cognitive sciences; and minimal requirements for either life of cognition.
Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis, the workshop (originally scheduled to be held at the Autonomous University of Madrid on May 21-22, 2020) was postponed to May 3-4, 2021. Updates were notified here: https://pbcsxworkshop.wixsite.com/pbcsxworkshop.
