NOGA ARIKHA is an Associate Fellow of the Warburg Institute (London), an Honorary Fellow of the Center for the Politics of Feelings, and a Research Associate at the Institut Jean Nicod of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (Paris).
A philosopher and historian of ideas, she works to foster dialogues between neuroscientists, psychologists, clinicians, social scientists, humanists, and artists in order to bring to a general audience accessible accounts that analyze the origins of our deepest concerns about our embodied feeling and thinking selves. Always concerned with the relation between mind and body, she initially focused on life sciences in early modern Europe, but her interests and writings encompass a broad range of periods, cultures, and disciplines.
She is co-author (with Marcello Simonetta) of Napoleon and the Rebel: A Story of Brotherhood, Passion, and Power; author of the critically acclaimed Passions and Tempers: A History of the Humours; and, most recently, The Ceiling Outside: The Science and Experience of the Disrupted Mind.
