This thesis investigates the concept of simulation in its various forms: as a cognitive mechanism involved in mindreading, as an embodied mode of knowledge, and ultimately as virtual simulation. Through the analysis of Alvin Goldman’s Simulation Theory, a distinction is drawn between automatic and deliberate simulation, emphasizing its experiential dimension. The relationship between simulation and imagination is also explored, with attention to notions such as the lived body and body schema. Finally, the study turns to virtual simulation as a technological proiection of mental simulation, questioning the kind of experience it enables and the relation we establish with such simulated realities.
La presente tesi indaga il concetto di simulazione nelle sue varie declinazioni: come dispositivo cognitivo implicato nel mindreading, come forma incarnata di conoscenza e, infine, come simulazione virtuale. Attraverso l’analisi della Simulation Theory di Alvin Goldman, viene distinta la simulazione automatica da quella deliberata, mettendo in luce la sua dimensione esperienziale. Viene inoltre esplorato il rapporto tra simulazione e immaginazione, con riferimento a concetti come corpo vissuto e schema corporeo. In conclusione, si apre una riflessione sulla simulazione virtuale intesa come proiezione tecnologica della simulazione mentale, interrogandosi sul tipo di esperienza che essa rende possibile.

Abstract
This thesis investigates the concept of simulation in its various forms: as a cognitive mechanism involved in mindreading, as an embodied mode of knowledge, and ultimately as virtual simulation. Through the analysis of Alvin Goldman’s Simulation Theory, a distinction is drawn between automatic and deliberate simulation, emphasizing its experiential dimension. The relationship between simulation and imagination is also explored, with attention to notions such as the lived body and body schema. Finally, the study turns to virtual simulation as a technological proiection of mental simulation, questioning the kind of experience it enables and the relation we establish with such simulated realities.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
