Philosophy of Biology and Cognitive Sciences X
Madrid Philosophy Network is honored to introduce the tenth edition of the Research Workshop on Philosophy of Biology and Cognitive Science (PBCS X). Since its origins in 2011, the PBCS is an annual encounter of young scholars that aims at bringing together researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds: philosophers, cognitive scientists, and biologists working on issues of common interest. In this workshop, young researchers can present their ideas and participate in the discussions, as well as attend the conferences of keynote speakers. Its main purposes are to serve as a tool for enhancing research through discussion and to promote the interdisciplinary of the ideas presented. In its tenth edition, the organizers would like to keep encouraging young researchers to participate in this fresh and distinctive forum.
This call is addressed to graduate, Master, Ph.D. students, as well as Doctors who finished their dissertations during the last three years, working on the areas of Philosophy of Biology and Cognitive Science. Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
Consciousness and cognitive phenomenology
Animal and non-animal cognition

Philosophy of functions
Biological and cognitive implications of transhumanism
