Cognitive science

I am a philosopher working toward a scientific metaphysics, in other words a general world view which reflects our best (natural) sciences. Physics is particularly important in this endeavour, and within physics the attempts to provide ontological accounts. Among these I find the efforts of David Bohm most promising, and have studied these, e.g. in my 2007 book Mind, Matter and the Implicate Order (Springer).

Our team works on narrative as a practice that influences how individuals frame and perceive the reality around them. We want to understand how narratives can change readers’ cognitive and embodied practices, such as engaging with their environments, with each other, and with works of art.
