Naturalizing Phenomenology

Issues in Contemporary Phenomenology and Cognitive Science (Writing Science)

Edición de la obra Naturalizing phenomenology

"This ambitious work aims to shed new light on the relations between Husserlian phenomenology and present-day efforts toward a scientific theory of cognition - with its complex structure of disciplines, levels of explanation, and conflicting hypotheses." "The book's primary goal is not to present a new interpretation of Husserl's writings, although it does not dismiss the importance of such critical work. Rather, the contributors assess to what extent the kind of phenomenological investigation initiated by Husserl supports the development of scientific theories of cognition. In particular, they consider how Husserlian phenomenology might contribute to specific contemporary theories, either by complementing or by questioning them."--Jacket.
