[After a brief review of the solutions given to the mind-body problem by philosophers I propose a naturalistic-materialistic solution that is based on a collaboration between the philosophy of mind and neurosciences. According to this solution the three fundamental characteristics of every human state of consciousness – that is, having a content and being conscious and self-conscious - are...

This chapter focuses on two broad ways in which Cooley’s work is still intensely alive in the minds and work of researchers and philosophers today. First, in philosophy in the area of consciousness studies and in phenomenological studies in psychology, there has been a growing movement to the effect that accounts of “first person experience,” that is accounts of experience of the form “then I...

The paper aims at elaborating a concept of a person in the light of recent developments in philosophy of mind and psychology, moving from an awareness of the current misfortune of this concept. Firstly, the distinction between personal and subpersonal levels of escription and explanation is examined, also in connection with the discoveries concerning the so-called ‘cognitive unconscious’. Then,...

The Experimental phenomenologis origin is the descriptive psychology introduced by Franz Brentano and promulgated by the “Brentano circle” to the threshold of a new approach in the philosophy of mind and a new approach in empirical psychology. This aspiration became figurative in philosophical phenomenology and literal in Experimental Phenomenology, but the common origin left its mark on both...

The Buddhist construct of nonattachment is a related, yet distinct construct to mindfulness. Whereas mindfulness refers to an individual’s open, present-centred awareness of what is happening in their field of consciousness, nonattachment denotes an absence of attempts to control what is happening in their field of consciousness. The aim of the present research was to determine whether...

Introduction and Aims: Polysubstance users are a high-risk population for negative health-related consequences. Although some studies have described harm reduction strategies adopted by polysubstance users, studies have not examined their effectiveness in minimising health-related consequences. We aimed to identify dosing-related harm reduction strategies in a sample of polysubstance-using...

One of the risks of a rhetorical question is that the hearer or reader will give an answer different from that presupposed by the posing of the question. And, in this case, one might wonder how Paolo Bozzi’s reference to ethology bolsters his case for thinking that an adequate phenomenology of perception must take account of much more than what can be ticketed by the standard procedures of...

Abstract In his book Phenomenology of Perception, the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty first coined the phrase “motor intentionality.” At the same time he highlighted the contrast between motor and cognitive intentionality, he also emphasized their generally smooth interplay in normal agents. An account of motor intentionality should thus aim at elucidating not just what distinguishes...

Abstract Enactivists are searching for the conditions of genuine intersubjectivity. Theory of mind approaches to social cognition have come a long way from folk psychological theorizing by paying more attention to neuroscientific evidence and phenomenological insights. This has led to hybrid accounts that incorporate automatic processing and allow an instrumental role for perception and...
