Here is an opinionated overview in press at Philosophy Compass.

Critical 4E cognitive science, as we call this emerging research program, adopts the 4E frameworks and concepts but with a critical lens: questioning its hidden assumptions and leveraging its theoretical resources for social criticism.

This has been a long process of over five years of rewriting, rethinking, revising, and resubmitting. So happy that this is finally out there in the world.

Ppease share widely!

Yes, the central idea is that distinguishing psychological and physical pain by means of their cause - being located either in the mind or the body - is flawed. Both are biopsychosocial phenomena. They might still differ in other interesting ways but in this sense they are more similar.

It has been great writing this piece with @peterstilwell.bsky.social about the mind-body divide and why it is often misleading to speak of 'physical' vs. 'psychological' pain.

I enjoyed in Aarhus the most taking a walk/run to the docklands and then further north to the beaches. Also the Moesgaard Museum about human evolution is pretty great and unique!

The side-quests are almost the best about it! But maybe it is just a person with the same issue talking 😀
