Abstract
The neurophenomenological theory of time unites the phenomenological understanding of the structure of temporal experience and its constituent elements with the findings of experimental cognitive neuroscience. On the one hand, this leads to a process of external manifestation of strictly defined neurobiological temporal attributes, and on the other – to a phenomenological description that remains close to our actual temporal experience. Neurophenomenology anthropocentrically orients the categorical isomorphism of temporality. The neurobiological foundation of temporality leads to formal descriptive possibilities for expressing its nonlinear dynamics, which, in turn, articulates the nature of actual temporal experience, analysable with the aid of phenomenological reduction.
