| Key points | Argues that Varela's neurophenomenology anticipated Ronald N. Giere's scientific perspectivism and was more radical, since it incorporated the phenomenological and transcendental dimension of lived human experience and sought to implement it in cognitive neuroscience protocols. |
Abstract
espanolEl autor realiza una lectura en clave perspectivista de la neurofenomenologia, enfoque transdisciplinar y metodologico iniciado a mediados de los 90 por el neurobiologo Francisco J. Varela desde el ambito experimental de las ciencias de la mente. La originalidad del articulo reside en que estudia comparativamente el problematico entrecruce de la neurofenomenologia de Varela con el perspectivismo cientifico de Ronald N. Giere, mostrandonos que la neurofenomenologia no solo lo antecedio cronologicamente, sino que fue mucho mas radical al tener en cuenta la la dimension fenomenologica y trascendental de la experiencia vivida humana y al aplicarla en los protocolos de las neurociencias cognitivas. EnglishThe author makes a perspectivist reading of neurophenomenology, a trans-diciplinary and methodological approach pioneered in the 90’s by the neurobiologist Francisco J. Varela, who worked in the experimental field of the science of mind. The originality of the article consists in studying with a comparative method the problematic intertwine of Varela’s neuro-phenomenology and the scientific perspectivism recently difended by Ronald N. Giere. In this way, the autor shows how neurophenomenology not only came before Giere’s proposal but also how it was more radical in considering the pheno-menological and transcendental human dimension and in trying an implementation in cognitive neuroscience protocols.
