Abstract

Since the 21st century, philosophical epistemology and methodology have been greatly affected by phenomenology. The most representative view is that in neuroscience research, there is a phenomenological method to illustrate consciousness. Firstly, neurophenomenology combines first-person phenomenological methods with third-person neuroscience methods to deal with “hard” problem. Secondly, from the perspective of scientific epistemology, phenomenology combines the standpoints of Foundherentist to explore the influence of the integration of neuroscience and phenomenology on science epistemology. It is found that neurophenomenology of consciousness reflects the implications of constructivist and methodologically embodies the necessity of combining scientific rationality with introspection training in scientific research.
