"This talk will argue that, for the humanities to progress, they need to
move beyond the mind-body dualism that underlies our current strict
separation between the humanities and natural sciences. Scientific
discoveries about human cognition have an important constraining function
to play in the humanities, calling into question such deeply entrenched
dogmas as the “blank slate” theory of human nature, strong social
constructivism, and the ideal of disembodied reason. The goal of this talk
is to suggest how the humanities would be altered if humanists began taking
these discoveries seriously, as well as to explore what “vertical
integration” or “consilience” would mean for our concept of the
person, human consciousness, and human-level truths," introduces the
lecture Edward Slingerland himself.Find more about E. Slingerland
