In this course, we will approach issues pertinent to the philosophy of cognitive sciences, special attention will be given to the enactive-ecological research program. We will not only study  how enactivism approaches basic cognitions such as perceptions and emotions but also how enactivism faces the difficulty of being scaled up to explain higher cognitions such as language and rationality. Along this course, we will assess the fruitfulness of the concept of skill or ability for understanding and explaining these cognitive phenomena
