Dear all, (And apologies to those who have already received this.)
Dan Williams and I will be running a reading group this term on the topic of embodied cognition. The essays we've selected should serve as a good introduction to the topic, so anyone with any interest at all should feel free to come. We'll meet Fridays from 4-5:30 in the philosophy common room.
