[koglist] CEU Summer University Problems of the Self

Re: Summer Course “Problems of the Self ( http://www.summeruniversity.ceu.hu/self-2012 )” at Central European University (CEU) in Budapest, Hungary, from June 25 to July 5, 2012 CEU's summer school invites applications from graduate students, junior faculty, researchers and practitioners in universities and other institutions from all over the world. The course aims to present the state of the art in research on the self from philosophy, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, sociology, and cognitive anthropology. Themes revolve around the nature of the self, as revealed through self-consciousness, body perception, action and joint action, and its embedding in society and culture. Historical and developmental perspectives provide other angles on the self. The course presents a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary discussion on the self from multiple perspectives. It is directed at advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty working in philosophy, psychology, cognitive neuroscience and cognate disciplines.
