NATURALIZING PHENOMENOLOGY
ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY PHENOMENOLOGY
AND
COGNITIVE SCIENCE
Edited by
Jean Petitot, Francisco J. Varela, Bernard Pachoud, Jean-Michel Roy
Stanford University Press
This work aims to shed a new light on the relations between
Husserlian phenomenology and present-day efforts towards a scientific theory
of cognition. Its primary goal is not to present a new interpretation of
Husserl's writings. Rather, the contributors consider how
Husserlian phenomenology might contribute to specific contemporary
theories, either by complementing or by questioning them. What clearly
emerges is that Husserlian phenomenology cannot become instrumental to
cognitive science without undergoing a substantial transformation.
Therefore, the book's central concern is not only the progress of
contemporary theories of cognition but also the reorientation of Husserlian
phenomenology.
Because a single volume could not encompass the numerous facets
of this wide-ranging interrogation, the contributors focus on the issue of
naturalization.This perspective is far-reaching enough to allow for the
coverage of a great variety of topics, ranging from the general structures
of intentionality, the nature of temporality and perception, the
mathematical modeling of their phenomenological descriptions, to the
founding epistemological and ontological principles of cognitive science
"Naturalizing Phenomenology" is thus a collective reflection on the
possibility of bringing a naturalized Husserlian phenomenology to bear on a
scientific theory of cognition that fills the explanatory gap between the
phenomenological mind and brain.
