Predictive processing's flirt with transcendental idealism
The popular predictive processing (PP) framework posits prediction error minimization (PEM) as the sole mechanism in the brain that can account for all mental phenomena, including consciousness. I first highlight three ambitions associated with major presentations of PP: (1) Completeness (PP aims for a comprehensive account of mental phenomena), (2) Bayesian realism (PP claims that PEM is implemented in the brain rather than providing only a mode…
Can affordances be reasons
We discuss whether affordances can be reasons, against the background of two interlocked considerations: (1) While the problematic degree of idealization in accounts of reasons that treat them as mental states speaks in favor of the alternative view which treats them as facts , a cognitive consideration relationship is still required to account for the motivating role of reasons. (2) While recent enactive accounts of cognition hold promise to avo…

What are Mental Representations?
Mental representation is one of the core theoretical constructs within cognitive science and, together with the introduction of the computer as a model for the mind, is responsible for enabling the “cognitive turn” in psychology and associated fields. Conceiving of cognitive processes, such as perception, motor control, and reasoning, as processes that consist in the manipulation of contentful vehicles representing the world has allowed us to ref…
What Are Mental Representations
Critical Note
This commentary addresses the following points: (1) The compatibility of the predictive processing framework with 4E approaches, in particular by considering the distinction between radical enactivism and more conservative representational 4E approaches. (2) The possible constraints phenomenological characterizations of cognitive phenomena put on modeling and experimentation, illustrated by the debate on social cognition. Froese’s call for intera…
A methodological dilemma for investigating consciousness empirically
Grenzen der Empathie
Toward a second-person neuroscience
In spite of the remarkable progress made in the burgeoning field of social neuroscience, the neural mechanisms that underlie social encounters are only beginning to be studied and could – paradoxically – be seen as representing the “dark matter” of social neuroscience. Recent conceptual and empirical developments consistently indicate the need for investigations that allow the study of real-time social encounters in a truly interactive manner. Th…
