Exploring Self and Habit in Addiction and Technology through an Enactivist Framework

Abstract

From 24 August 2022 to 27 August 2022, a group of interdisciplinary experts from psychiatry, psychology, philosophy, cognitive science, and other related fields met in Vancouver, Canada, for a roundtable event. The aim of the roundtable was to discuss the concept of the “self” as it pertains to the deliberate, habitual, and addicted interactions of the individual with the world, including with information technology, through the lens of an enactivist framework.
