Alva Noe is Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley. He works principally on the philosophy of mind and cognitive science, with special interest in the theory of perception, and is also interested in the philosophy of art, the history of analytic philosophy and Phenomenology.
Just a few bullet points that I relevant to my recent curiosities:
- gates of access
- engagement with the living land
- human mind is influenced by the forgotten relations with the earth
- Gary Snyder
- weightlessness
- shifting the common state of consciousness in order to make contact with the other organic forms of sensitivity and awareness with which human existence is entwined
- intertwined matrix of sensations and perceptions
- encounter with other centres of experience, embodied subjects, receivers
- Space is earth
- introspection
- presence
- investigation how we perceive our body in relation to the world around us
- dance and philosophy of mind
This interview make me look back at different dance styles that fed my passion for moving and expressing myself. They all brought me here, at Coventry University for a dance degree- the place where I find and understand the threads that connect my moving principles and my thinking. It is interesting to notice how the principles of BMC have brought together all patterns from my background into the present and made me aware of their presence. This fact helps me embody a new concept of the word 'dance' as a state of myself, that comes from the inside and happens in me because if me and my choices.
