Podcasts about flesh the embodied mind

Today’s episode is a lovely chat with our very interesting and talented friends Erin Kidd, Assistant Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at St. John’s University (Queens, NY), and Jakob Karl Rinderknecht, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Pastoral Institute at University of the Incarnate Word (San Antonio, TX). After a lively discussion of Erin’s most recent culinary catastrophes and the wild/wonderful Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee, we learn about Erin and Jakob’s new edited volume: Putting God on the Map: Theology and Conceptual Mapping (Fortress Press, 2018). The volume is an interdisciplinary work in theology and cognitive science, and our conversation covers the basics of cognitive linguistics and conceptual mapping. We also introduce the wide-ranging implications of their intersections and applications in theological discourse. Jon shares his Treasures Old & New, and then we say goodbye. Erin and Jakob are very generously offering our listeners a 30% discount on Putting God on the Map!

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/extended-mind. An increasing number of psychologists and philosophers believe that to understand how the mind really works, we must understand it as both embedded in a body and as situated in an environment. According to some, in fact, the body and the environment do not just house the mind, but are an essential part of the mind in the sense that workings of the mind depend upon and exploit the body and the environment. John and Ken probe the extended mind, embodied cognition, and the situated self with renowned cognitive scientist George Lakoff, co-author of "Philosophy in the Flesh: The Embodied Mind and Its Challenge to Western Thought."

Excerpts of discussions about Frithjof Bergmann's New Work, New Culture, Cormac McCarthy's novel Blood Meridian, Philosophy in the Flesh: The Embodied Mind and its Challenge to Western Thought by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, and Martin Heidegger's "Letter on Humanism."

This piece is an interview with Mark Johnson, author of Flesh: The Embodied Mind and its Challenge to Western Thought (Basic Books, 1999). It addresses the implications for new findings in neuroscience for our ideas about embodiment.
