Today's conversation is with Mark Johnson.
Mark is the Philip H. Knight Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Emeritus, in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Oregon. His research has focused on the philosophical implications of the role of human embodiment in meaning, conceptualization, reasoning, values, and knowing, especially from the perspective of embodied cognitive science and pragmatist philosophy. His recent work develops a naturalistic account of mind and knowing. He is co-author, with George Lakoff, of Metaphors We Live By (1980) and Philosophy in the Flesh (1999) and author of The
Body in the Mind: The Bodily Basis of Meaning, Imagination, and Reason (1987), Moral Imagination: Implications of Cognitive Science for Ethics (1993), The Meaning of the Body: Aesthetics of Human Understanding (2007), Morality for Humans: Ethical Understanding from the Perspective of Cognitive Science (2014), Embodied Mind, Meaning, and Reason (2017), Aesthetics of Meaning and Thought (2018), and Out of the Cave: A Natural Philosophy of Mind and Knowing (2021).
In today's conversation we spoke about what brought Professor Johnson to this field, Metaphors as a foundation of how people view their world and to find meaning, dualism of mind body, cultural ontologies, non-absolutism, embodiment and awareness, world structuring and so much more.
I had some technical difficulties before we really got started and you'll hear me come into the conversation a bit abruptly because of that, I apologize for this.
