In this book, Anil Seth advocates a predictive processing approach to the understanding of conscious experience, which he claims would amount to something like a Copernican revolution. In three separate parts of the book, Seth discusses conscious level, conscious content, and conscious self. Among the strengths of the book is an ambition to stay close to the rich phenomenology of conscious experieIn this book, Anil Seth advocates a predictive processing approach to the understanding of conscious experience, which he claims would amount to something like a Copernican revolution.

This book is an introduction to the Free Energy Principle (FEP) and Active Inference. The FEP has been described as new paradigm with potential to unify the biological and cognitive sciences. According to the FEP, living organisms persist by minimizing their free energy (which can be variously translated as uncertainty, surprise, prediction error, or discrepancies between model and world).

In The Four Realms of Existence: A New Theory of Being Human, Joseph LeDoux (2023) argues for a conceptualization of being human in terms of four hierarchically integrated realms of existence: biological, neurobiological, cognitive, and conscious. Although LeDoux’s perspective is thought-provoking, it also raises several questions. One question is how to differentiate the conscious realm from the In The Four Realms of Existence: A New Theory of Being Human, Joseph LeDoux (2023) argues for a conceptualization of being human in terms of four hierarchically integrated realms of existence: biological, neurobiological, cognitive, and conscious.

Strejker och arbetsplatskonflikter som löper över flera år är ovanliga i Sverige. Lockouten av syndikalistiska skogsarbetare i Lossmen-Ekträskpågick mellan 1924 och 1931. Ingen arbetsplatskonflikt har, ossveterligen, pågått längre. Arbetarens Håkan Gustafsson och kulturgeografen Johan Pries har grävt ner sig i Arbetarens arkiv för att ta reda på: vad hände egentligen under de där dramatiska åren?

Following the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) have received renewed political attention. In several policy fields, MSPs have been criticized for a lack of accountability, resulting in efforts to redress this problem. However, it is still unclear how accountability challenges and shortcomings differ across partnerships operating within

As media consumption becomes increasingly individualized, people’s desire for shared cultural experiences remains. Reaction media provides one way to fulfil that need, fostering transnational community (Swan 2018) and a sense of co-presence and immediacy. In their most basic form, reaction media show people filming themselves or being filmed while reacting – viewing, eating, playing, trying out or

The “alla kan blomstra” (“everyone can flourish”) vision is a framework adopted by Åland’s government that attempts to institutionalize integrative inner-outer transformation within governmental structures, policies and operations. It aims to merge conventional external approaches (e.g., traditional ecological services and technologies) with inner-led change (e.g., addressing collective perception

This study examined how self- and teacher-rated executive functioning (EF), measured with the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Second Edition, differed between adolescents with and without self-reported neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs; e.g., autism), across levels of internalizing symptoms, and how EF, NDDs, and internalizing symptoms related to academic achievement. Analyses i

The 1990s were significant for several events promoting environmental protection and the sustainable use of natural resources. For instance, both the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992, which stressed the need to stop the overconsumption of natural resources and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change endorsed a framework to combat climate change. Si

In this chapter, I reflect on the use of sociologist Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical metaphor to understand the victim-offender mediation process. Using metaphors can both open unexpected, valuable views, as well as be limiting. Having entered a specific metaphoric realm means that we are able to perceive particular aspects and perspectives (as crucial) but not others. One benefit of the dramaturgi

Sjunkande tittarsiffror och avtagande samtidsrelevans har fått många att undra om inte dagarna är räknade för tv:s late-night talkshows. Men nu verkar den förmodade nådastöten – motståndet från Trump och Maga-rörelsen – i stället gjuta nytt liv i det amerikanska 50-talsformatet.

The growing vulnerability of cities to extreme heat underscores the urgency of effective urban adaptation policies. Despite the progress in developing urban climate policies and strategies, there remains a significant disparity between intended goals and actual outcomes. This could entrench social and climate vulnerabilities that are costly and challenging to address, potentially resulting in rein
