The phenomenology of movement

July 1, 2010 Wendy S Scholz 6 citations

The intent of this thesis is to provide an account of the phenomenology of movement that collapses the distinction between mental and physical without the elimination of the mental. There are two main ways in which mental and physical converge in this account. First of all, the type of knowledge involved in learning movement skills is a type of nonpropositional knowledge that is literally...

On The Infinitely Hard Problem Of Consciousness

Australasian Journal of Philosophy June 9, 2010 Bernard Molyneux 8 citations

I show that the recursive structure of Leibniz's Law requires agents to perform infinitely many operations to psychologically identify the referents of phenomenal and physical concepts, even though the referents of ordinary concepts (e.g. Hesperus and Phosphorus) can be identified in a finite number of steps. The resulting problem resembles the hard problem of consciousness in the fact that it...

Phenomenology of hallucinations, illusions, and delusions as part of seizure semiology.

Epilepsy & Behavior May 18, 2010 B S Kasper, E M Kasper, E Pauli et al.

In partial epilepsy, a localized hypersynchronous neuronal discharge evolving into a partial seizure affecting a particular cortical region or cerebral subsystem can give rise to subjective symptoms, which are perceived by the affected person only, that is, ictal hallucinations, illusions, or delusions. When forming the beginning of a symptom sequence leading to impairment of consciousness...

Exploring inner landscapes through psychophenomenology

Qualitative Research in Organizations and Management: An International Journal May 11, 2010 Paul Tosey, Jane Mathison

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore a contemporary European development in research into first person accounts of experience, called psychophenomenology, that offers enhancements to phenomenological interviewing. It is a form of guided introspection that seeks to develop finely grained first‐person accounts by using distinctions in language, internal sensory representations and...

Mapping introspection's blind spot: reconstruction of dual-task phenomenology using quantified introspection.

Cognition May 2010 Sebastien Marti, Jérôme Sackur, Mariano Sigman et al.

Psychologists often dismiss introspection as an inappropriate measure, yet subjects readily volunteer detailed descriptions of the time and effort that they spent on a task. Are such reports really so inaccurate? We asked subjects to perform a psychological refractory period experiment followed by extensive quantified introspection. On each trial, just after their objective responses, subjects...

Materialism, Minimal Emergentism, and the Hard Problem of Consciousness

The Waning of Materialism March 25, 2010 Terry Horgan

AbstractThis chapter formulates and motivates the current favored articulation of the metaphysical doctrine of materialism. It describes an alternative metaphysical position called minimal emergentism, which has two versions; and then contrasts it with stronger kinds of emergentism. Minimal emergentism posits certain inter-level necessitation relations — either nomically necessary connections,...
