CFP: Hegel and contemporary theories of cognition

This issue aims to gather contributions on how Hegel relates to contemporary philosophy of cognitive science, broadly construed. Of particular interest are his relations with embodied theories of cognition (4-e cognition) and ecological psychology; criticism or support of representationalism; social epistemology; cognition of non-human animals and artificial intelligence; criticism or support of neuroscientific or physicalist theories of mind.

Some examples of questions of major interest are: to what extent does the Hegelian project approximate (or distance itself from) research trends in the current empirical sciences of the mind? Can Hegelian dialectics help us think about the cultural and political dimensions of advances in artificial intelligence? Are artificial intelligences spiritual (geistige) artefacts? Are Hegel's criticisms of Kantian transcendentalism relevant for contemporary cognitivists? To what extent does his reflection on non-human organisms help us think about advances in embodied theories of cognition, including their ethical aspects?
