Evolution of Mind | Maxine Sheets-Johnstone | Madness Radio

Is thinking a cognitive process of information input and output? Or do consciousness and emotion take place in our bodies – animated, moving, and responsive to the environment? And what would Darwin think of today’s focus on brains and neuroscience – is there an evolutionary way to understand the mind instead? Maxine Sheets-Johnstone, dancer, philosopher, and author of more than 70 journal articles and 9 books, including The Corporeal Turn: An Interdisciplinary Reader, The Primacy of Movement, and The Phenomenology Of Dance, explores her understanding of the evolution of mind. http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Movement_as_a_Way_of_Knowing http://www.bodypsychyoga.com/Downloads_BCMT/ProgressiveRelaxation.pdf http://www.amazon.com/Putting-Movement-into-Your-Life/dp/149747695X  The post Evolution of Mind | Maxine Sheets-Johnstone | Madness Radio first appeared on Madness Radio.
