Autonomies in Interaction: Dimensions of Patient Autonomy and Non-adherence to Treatment
(Frontiers Media, 2019-08-14)
In recent years, several studies have advocated the need to expand the concept of patient autonomy beyond the capacity to deliberate and make decisions regarding a specific medical intervention or treatment (decision-making ...
A genealogical map of the concept of habit
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-07-21)
The notion of information processing has dominated the study of the mind for over six decades. However, before the advent of cognitivism, one of the most prominent theoretical ideas was that of Habit. This is a concept ...
Learning to perceive in the sensor motor approach: Piaget's theory of equilibration interpreted dynamically
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-07-30)
Learning to perceive is faced with a classical paradox: if understanding is required for perception, how can we learn to perceive something new, something we do not yet understand? According to the sensorimotor approach, ...
Interactionism, Post-Interactionism, and Causal Complexity: Lessons From the Philosophy of Causation
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-30)
In biology and philosophy of biology, discussing the notion of interaction leads to an examination of interactionism, which is, broadly speaking, the view that rejects gene-centrism and gene determinism and instead emphasizes ...
Mechanism, autonomy and biological explanation
(Springer, 2021-12)
[EN]The new mechanists and the autonomy approach both aim to account for how biological phenomena are explained. One identifies appeals to how components of a mechanism are organized so that their activities produce a ...
Placebo from an enactive perspective
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-02)
[EN] Due to their complexity and variability, placebo effects remain controversial. We suggest
this is also due to a set of problematic assumptions (dualism, reductionism, individualism,
passivity). We critically assess ...
Organization needs organization: Understanding integrated control in living organisms
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] Organization figures centrally in the understanding of biological systems advanced by both new mechanists and proponents of the autonomy framework. The new mechanists focus on how components of mechanisms are organized ...
Grounding cognition: heterarchical control mechanisms in biology
(Royal Society B-Biological Sciences, 2021-03-15)
We advance an account that grounds cognition, specifically decision-making, in an activity all organisms as autonomous systems must perform to keep themselves viable-controlling their production mechanisms. Production ...
Visual Perception and the Emergence of Minimal Representation
(Frontiers Media, 2021-05-17)
There is a long-lasting quest of demarcating a minimally representational behavior. Based on neurophysiologically-informed behavioral studies, we argue in detail that one of the simplest cases of organismic behavior based ...
The Ecological Literacies of St. Hildegard of Bingen
(MDPI, 2021-11-29)
Literacy is, literally, a question not of education but of the letter. More than that, it is the question of the letter in the two senses the word has in English: as a symbol of the alphabet and a piece of correspondence. ...
