Students' final project presentation and discussion.

Concepts shape what we perceive and think.  Understanding how we depend on them can help us use concepts without being dominated by them.

Whatever we perceive or imagine is embedded in a web of relationships. Ours isn't a static world of objects but a dynamic world of interactions. With different interactions, we bring about new worlds.

Our conceptual world emerges out of the interaction between body and environment.  It is in this interaction that we create meaning.

Through metaphors, we're able to go from the very literal experiences to the most abstract concepts. Metaphors allow us to experience and think about the world in fluid and novel ways.
