Dialectical Science and Why AI Research Needs Continental Philosophy (w/ Tim Elmo Feiten)

Dr Tim Elmo Feiten is a philosopher of science with a focus on the sciences of life, mind, and artificial intelligence. His work brings the history and philosophy of science into dialogue with other fields, especially continental and Classical German philosophy. He has used the philosophy of embodied cognitive science to develop new readings of Jakob von Uexküll and Max Stirner and to ask questions about the relationships between art, science, technology, and society. Dr Feiten is currently an Assistant Teaching Professor at Penn State University and did his PhD at the University of Cincinnati. In this episode, we discuss how subjective experience remains a deep philosophical and scientific problem, how continental philosophy can be used in AI and cognitive science research and how science is essentially dialectical.
