For this episode it was my pleasure to talk with Guilherme Sanches de Oliveira, a philosopher and cognitive scientist whose primary influences are Gibsonian ecological psychology, dynamic systems theory and the philosophical traditions of pragmatism and phenomenology.  

Since 2020 Guilherme has served as an assistant lecturer at TU Berlin where he founded the Embody research group. He received his Phd from the University of Cincinatti, where he also studied experimental psychology at the Center for Cognition, Action and Perception. He earned his BA and MA at the University of São Paulo in Brazil working with Osvaldo Pessoa. 

In part one of our conversation we discussed 4EA cognition, niche construction theory, the problems of "hard" science, the WEIRD problem and much more . . .
