Susan Stuart is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, who sometimes she finds herself thinking: “If only I could focus, but too much is exciting.” Her research interests include establishing the preconditions for consciousness in natural and artificial systems, Kant’s epistemology and metaphysics, the development of a notion of kinaesthetic or muscular imagination that acts as the underpinning for the development of a cognitive and, subsequently, a creative imagination, and understanding the relationship between agents, selves, and persons in both temporal and perspectival terms for which she will need a more thorough grasp of phenomenology and intersubjectivity.
