The MA in Philosophy of Mind and Embodied Cognition draws upon the research interests of a stellar faculty of philosophers,  psychologists and cognitive scientists at UCD. It brings together expertise from the phenomenological and analytic traditions in philosophy alongside empirical approaches to the study of the mind and brain to offer a unique taught Masters course on this much-discussed and important topic.

 

This unique Masters course examines the intersection of philosophy, phenomenology and the cognitive sciences to explore the profound relationship between mind, body and world. By examining the role of the body in shaping perception, emotions and attention, students gain a deeper understanding of the mind and its place in the natural world. The programme offers small group seminars with the opportunity to engage in philosophical debates to enhance critical thinking and presentation skills.
