Abstract
Cognitive phenomenology Resum: La naturalesa i les característiques del pensament conscient han ocupat la filosofia i altres ciències al llarg de la història. Darrerament, però, ha sorgit la pregunta per les propietats fenomèniques del pensament, això és, pel caràcter qualitatiu de les experiències del pensar o el que s’ha anomenat ‘fenomenologia cognitiva’. L’existència d’aquest tipus de consciència fenomènica té un estatut controvertit i trobem diverses posicions en la filosofia de la ment contemporània. En aquest article s’introdueix la qüestió, s’explica quina és la importància del tema, quines visions i arguments principals trobem en la literatura i quins són els elements que juguen un paper rellevant en el debat. Finalment es conclou apuntant possibles desenvolupament futurs en aquest àmbit de recerca. Abstract: The nature and characterization of conscious thought has occupied philosophy and the sciences across history. Lately, though, several authors have raised the question of the phenomenal properties of thought, that is, of the qualitative character of experiences of thinking or what has been called ‘cognitive phenomenology’. The existence of this kind of phenomenal consciousness has a controversial status and we find several views within contemporary philosophy of mind. In this article I introduce the question and present the importance of the topic, together with the main views and arguments we find in the literature and the elements that play a central role in the debate. I conclude with possible future developments for this research area. Palabras clave: consciència, experiència, caràcter fenomènic, pensament, pensar, intencionalitat. Keywords: consciousness, experience, phenomenal character, thought, thinking, intentionality.
