Import theory raises three major claims: (i) conscious awareness builds on self-representation; (ii) selfhood is a social, not a natural kind; (iii) selfhood is imported from others to self. While export theories offer a number of mechanisms to account for the putative transition from self to others, import theories have so far not much to offer for the putative transition in the reverse direction. A framework is outlined to close this gap. Key to the framework is the notion of action matching. This term addresses dyadic interactions for perception\/action matching, that is, matching perception of foreign action to production of own action, and vice versa. The framework specifies both representational resources and social practices on which self-import through action matching is claimed to rely. A final commentary compares export and import theories in terms of explanatory power, claiming that import theories can explain key features of consciousness that export theories can only invoke. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Import Theory: The Social Making of Consciousness Wolfgang Prinz (Department of Psychology, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences) 23.06.2020 &#8211; 16.00 &#8211; 17.00 &#8211; (lecture, followed by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1407,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"pub_author":[],"post_folder":[197],"class_list":["post-1405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1405"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1405\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1414,"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1405\/revisions\/1414"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1405"},{"taxonomy":"pub_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pub_author?post=1405"},{"taxonomy":"post_folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philosophy-cognition.com\/cmc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_folder?post=1405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
