NML Podcast Eposode 3 The body also thinks
from NEURO MOTION LAB Hosted by fabianguida
A cramp in your stomach during an important meeting is warning you of something your rational head has not yet formulated. Two weeks later, the decision turns out wrong and you admit what deep down you already knew. Contemporary neuroscience, cognitive linguistics, and a part of twentieth-century philosophy converge on the same demolishing conclusion: Descartes got the answer wrong. The mind does not live separate from the body. You are a thinking body, not a mind carrying a body. Antonio Damasio and his somatic marker hypothesis, George Lakoff and the bodily metaphors structuring your whole abstract vocabulary, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and consciousness as an operation of the body. With Lisa Feldman Barrett on constructed emotion and Byung-Chul Han in a brushstroke about the objectification of the body in the performance society. Third movement of the season Not inside. In between. The question: if for your whole life you believed you were thinking with the head and turns out you were also thinking with the hands, the feet, the stomach, how much have you spent ignoring half of what was thinking in you?
