Dear IFETS group members,

You may be interested in taking a look of a call for papers/participation
at the Interactivist Summer Institute 2001, organized by the Institute for
Interactivist Studies at Lehigh University, Bethlehem PA.

Interactivism is a metaphysical and theoretical approach to understanding
phenomena of biology, mind, persons, and social reality. At the
metaphysical level, it emphasizes a strict naturalism and a process
metaphysics as essential to the understanding of emergence. Biological
issues that have been addressed include the evolution of the biosphere and
the nature and emergence of biological function. The term interactivism
derives from the model of representation as emergent in interactive
systems. This is a version of a pragmatist model, with kinship to Peirce
and Piaget. Multiple phenomena of the mind and persons are addressed,
including motivation, memory, learning, rationality, emotions,
consciousness, sociality, language, ethics, and the emergence of social
realities. These models have strong relevance for studies of central
nervous system functioning and for the creation of artificial
agents: cognitive robots.
