Love and Philosophy
Love and Philosophy Beyond Dichotomy started as research conversations across disciplines. There was so much I wanted to explore that I was being told I shouldn't explore because it didn't fit into this or that discipline, but because I study and work in so many, those barriers no longer made sense. The same felt true relative to passions and love.
So I decided to open myself to all of it beyond traditional distinctions, towards learning and development. This podcast is where those voices gather together in one space as I try and notice the patterns that connect.
It's part of my life work and research, but it's also something I hope to share with you and I invite you to share your perspective and position. Thank you for being here.

Knowing and the Known: Consciousness, Cognition and Joint Speech with Fred Cummins
Starting with Fred's unique scholarship and teaching, his nursing background, and his early studies with Douglas Hofstadter, Andrea & Fred lay the groundwork for an in-depth discussion on the history and interdisciplinary nature of cognitive science. Uncovering the philosophical and contemporary science behind defining cognitive science, the mind-body relationship, and distinctions between consciousness and cognition. They also discuss the phenomena of joint speech (a term coined by Cummins), its presence in rituals, protests, and sports, its biological and sociocultural facets, and the tech limitations in replicating such collective human activities. This engaging conversation bridges ancient wisdom with modern methodologies, focusing on questioning as much as on finding answers.
