Workshop hosted by the Center for Philosophical Psychology at the University of Antwerp, addressing how radical embodiment unfolds within the complexities of real-world environments. The contributions explore how perception, memory, learning, and social interaction emerge through dynamic engagements with diverse “wild” contexts. The workshop aims to expand radical embodiment research into new terrains and to rethink what it means for cognition to be lived, enacted, and situated.
