Donata Schoeller heldur fyrirlestur á vegum Heimspekistofnunar Háskóla Íslands sem nefnist „Becoming more real in thinking.“

Um fyrirlesturinn 

In her lecture, Donata Schoeller will sketch how an embodied and enacted concept of the mind opens up a novel practice space of thinking. This space is challenging and at the same time rewarding, by providing possibilities to overcome alienating restrictions implicit in scientific languages, as well as in listening and debating habits. As a work in progress, her thoughts on these connections circle around the meaning of a „freedom to make sense“ in the context of higher education: how does an embodied approach to the mind and to meaning support students and researchers to find their own true questions, their own voice, and help them  make sense of their real experiences and situations in an age of virtualization and AI.
