This ambitious work aims to shed new light on the relations between
Husserlian phenomenology and the present-day efforts toward a
scientific theory of cognition--with its complex structure of
disciplines, levels of explanation, and conflicting hypotheses.
The book's primary goal is not to present a new exegesis of
Husserl's writings, although it does not dismiss the importance of
such interpretive and critical work. Rather, the contributors
assess the extent to which the kind of phenomenological
investigation Husserl initiated favors the construction of a
scientific theory of cognition, particularly in contributing to
specific contemporary theories either by complementing or by
questioning them. What clearly emerges is that Husserlian
phenomenology cannot become instrumental in developing cognitive
science without undergoing a substantial transformation. Therefore,
the central concern of this book is not only the progress of
contemporary theories of cognition but also the reorientation of
Husserlian phenomenology.
Because a single volume could never encompass the numerous facets
of this dual aim, the contributors focus on the issue of
naturalization. This perspective is far-reaching enough to allow
for the coverage of a great variety of topics, ranging from general
structures of intentionality, to the nature of the founding
epistemological and ontological principles of cognitive science, to
analyses of temporality and perception and the mathematical
modeling of their phenomenological description.
This book, then, is a collective reflection on the possibility of
utilizing a naturalized Husserlian phenomenology to contribute to a
scientific theory of cognition that fills the explanatory gap
between the phenomenological mind and brain.
