PARP 7116 - Embodied,Embedded Philosophy

Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

In the wake of quantum physics and complexity studies, Western philosophy is ripe for a rethinking inspired by the biological, ecological, and cosmological awakening. This course analyzes both the problem (the West's long "dogmatic slumber" in a trance of disembodied, disembeddedmechanistic assumptions) and the emergent corrections and creative possibilities. Students will study pioneering philosophers of an embodied, embedded orientation; discuss relevant findings derived from recent holistic discoveries in science; discuss new options; and contribute via their paper to the emergence of post-mechanistic, embodied, embedded ecosocial philosophy by reframing and reconsidering a key issue or area in Western philosophy.
