Erica Cosentino is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Calabria. She received her Ph.D. in Philosophy of Mind and Language from the University of Palermo in 2008. Her research interests primarily concern the following issues: the evolution of language from a pragmatic perspective, the role of episodic memory and planning (mental time travel) on the emergence of a temporally extended self, the relation between mental time travel and other cognitive abilities such as mindreading and navigation in space. Her main publications on these topics comprise a monograph, “Mind’s time. Language, evolution and personal identity” (in Italian, Quodlibet 2008) and several articles, including those recently published in Consciousness and Cognition and Philosophical Psychology.
