Introduction
Tim Elmo Feiten is a PhD candidate at the University of Cincinnati in Philosophy and the Life Sciences. He works on the history and philosophy of science and brings it into dialogue with other fields, especially continental philosophy. His research uses the philosophy of embodied cognitive science to develop new readings of Jakob von Uexküll and Max Stirner and to ask questions about the relationships between art, science, technology, and society.

If successful, this move would constitute a significant step to...

For several decades, a diverse set of approaches to embedded, embodied, extended, enactive and affective cognition has been challenging the cognitivist orthodoxy. Recently, the prospect of a combination of ecological psychology and enactivism has emerged as a promising candidate for a single unified framework that could rival the established cognit...

In this chapter, the author demonstrates the potential that a combination of Deleuze and Stirner holds for (post)anarchism. A critical reading of Deleuze’s depiction of Stirner in his work on Nietzsche opens up the possibility of combining their thought. The comparative analysis of Deleuze and Stirner goes beyond the work of Saul Newman and draws o...

What does a generalization of evolutionary theory entail? Does such a theory exist in consensus use amongst biologists and philosophers of biology? The phrasing of the conference title itself suggests a positive reply. The conference, which took place from January 31st to February 3rd, 2018, at the Center for Logic and Philosophy of Science, Heinri...
