| summary | The workshop will concentrate on the issues of social perception, emotions and aesthetic experience, as they are tackled in pragmatism and in cognitive science. Special emphasis in the discussions will be made on the relations (complementarity, vindication, exclusion, clarification,…) between pragmatist proposals and recent advances in the framework of so-called "4E cognition" (cognition as embodied, embedded, enactive, extended). Social perception, emotions and aesthetic experience are receiving increasing attention in cognitive science, from different paradigms. Alternatives to representationalist and individualist models of social perception have notably been proposed. Similar discussions now concern the status of emotions and aesthetic experience in a naturalist framework. The relations between these new approaches and classical pragmatism (Peirce, James, Dewey, Mead) will be questioned. Another fundamental question concerns the relations between emotions, aesthetic ex!
perience and social perception themselves: how much should they be considered as overlapping phenomena?
This workshop takes place in the context of a CNRS-funded research operation devoted to the relations between pragmatism, cognitive science and social sciences. One year ago, the international conference “Pragmatism, 4E cognitive science and the sociality of human conduct” (Paris, December 7th – 9th) enabled us to clarify the landscape of the historical, current and possible relations between pragmatism, post-cognitivist cognitive science, and issues related to the social dimensions of human conduct. Different disciplinary perspectives were convoked: philosophy, cognitive anthropology, psychology and neurosciences. A selection of presented papers has been published in the journal Pragmatism Today (2017, 8 (1)), and colleagues in Parma (Department of Philosophy and Department of Neuroscience) organized a sequel to the Paris conference in April 2017, “The pragmatist turn and embodied cognition: habit and experience at the crossroads between pragmatism, neuroscience, an!
d social ontology”. In continuity with these conferences, the workshop will now focus on three specific issues.
