Phenomenology and Beyond

Disclosing the World March 18, 2016 Andrew Inkpin

This chapter considers what kind of explanatory approach is best suited to complement a minimalist phenomenological conception of language. It argues that two more ambitious forms of phenomenology – Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology and Heidegger’s hermeneutic phenomenology – both result in tension with the commitment to describe experience accurately, and that ‘4e’ cognitive science...

Dreaming: a conceptual framework for philosophy of mind and empirical research

Choice Reviews Online January 20, 2016 121 citations

Dreams, conceived as conscious experience or phenomenal states during sleep, offer an important contrast condition for theories of consciousness and the self. Yet, although there is a wealth of empirical research on sleep and dreaming, its potential contribution to consciousness research and philosophy of mind is largely overlooked. This might be due, in part, to a lack of conceptual clarity...

Historicism and/or Phenomenology in the Study of Jewish Mysticism: Imagery Techniques in the Teachings of Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira as a Case Study

Modern Judaism - A Journal of Jewish Ideas and Experience January 5, 2016 Daniel Reiser 1 citation

In recent years, the phenomenological and comparative approaches to the study of Jewish mysticism have come under criticism. This critique has been focused upon the very concept of “mysticism,” calling into question whether or not different mystical elements in different religious faith traditions may be compared with one another. This perspective is typified in the latest works of Boaz Huss,...

Waking Life: Reflections on Evan Thompson's “Quantum Phenomenology” and “Contemplative Neuroscience”

Comparative and Continental Philosophy January 2, 2016 David Storey

In this essay, I detail the mainsprings of Evan Thompson's creative synthesis of Indian philosophy, Western phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and neuroscience—what he calls “contemplative neuroscience”—and sketch some of his key arguments. I focus on his method of “neurophenomenology” and the connections among his understanding of three key concepts: consciousness, dreaming, and the link...

Resolving the hard problem and calling for a small miracle

2016 A. Reber

: With the exception of the commentary by Key, the commentaries on Reber have a common feature: the commenters feel, with varying levels of enthusiasm, that there is at least some virtue in the core assumption of the Cellular Basis of Consciousness (CBC) theory that consciousness (or subjectivity or sentience) accompanies the earliest forms of life. The model has two important entailments: (a)...

Foregrounding the relational domain - phenomenology, enactivism and care ethics

2016 P. Urban

Despite the emphasis on the relational and interpersonal domain found in the phenomenological tradition, a genuinely relational phenomenological ethics is still a desideratum. The aim of this paper is to call attention to care ethics as an already developed relational moral theory built on the idea of the centrality of the relational domain and to suggest a reason why phenomenologists and care...

Experiência é um termo fecundo em filosofia e protagonista de alguns dos seus mais ricos debates contemporâneos. No dia-a-dia, além das muitas ações de que somos autores, somos também vítimas de incontáveis experiências das quais, dependendo de cada caso, somos ou não responsáveis.

Emotional earthquakes in the landscape of psychosis: an interpretative phenomenology

The Cognitive Behaviour Therapist 2016 Jonathan Hutchins, John Rhodes, Saskia Keville 10 citations

AbstractTraditionally studies have neglected emotion in psychosis, possibly as a consequence of psychiatry's emphasis on psychotic symptoms rather than individuals’ lived experience of emotions before, during and after psychotic episodes. This study sought to investigate how individuals experienced their emotions and delusions in the context of psychosis. A qualitative Interpretative...
