This seminar focuses on the research programme of autopoietic enactivism. Autopoietic enactivism is an alternative to the traditional computationalist theories of cognition. According to autopoietic enactivism, cognition is intimately connected to the way in which living organisms act in their environment and maintain their identity and organisation. Living organisms, according to enactivists, constitute themselves and their environment by projecting a network of values on the outside world, rooted in their need to preserve their organismic unity.
