This essay examines dreaming as a challenge to the dichotomy between narrative and episodic conceptions of the self.Drawing on Sartre's phenomenology of the imaginary, it argues that dreams elude both accounts: dream consciousness is episodic and pre-reflective -reflective awareness that one is dreaming would annihilate the dream -yet dreams are experienced, on Sartre's insight, as "a story...

The relationship between the father of phenomenology and the father of the philosophy of stories has been described as a departure of Wilhelm Schapp from Edmund Husserl, following the turn to transcendental idealism marked by the publication of Ideen (1913).This supposed rupture is taken to ground Schapp's narratological reinterpretation of phenomenology.Nevertheless, Schapp's work...

In my paper, I attempt to show how the Hadotian metaphilosophical perspective of philosophy as a way of life (PWL for short) implies another conception of what true, philosophical knowledge is: a conception that one should understand through Hadot’s reading of what is Sophia for ancient philosophy.

The phenomenology of trauma is a historical, epistemological, and methodic inquiry that wishes to test the validity of an already settled dynamic model of surprise as shock-rupture based on its correlated inner structures of attention (as an open awaiting) and emotion (as a perduring resonance). Thanks to an integrative approach, crossing (micro)phenomenological subjective experiences and...

Human consciousness is a phenomenon that occurs not only in the brain but also in an external network, a symbolic system. This symbolic system is defined as an exocerebrum. The exocerebrum is a system of artificial cultural prostheses that substitute functions the brain cannot carry out through exclusively biological means. The exocerebrum is a symbolic system that substitutes the cerebral...
