When I heard the rumor that the findings about the central nervous
system obtained with new technology, such as Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), were too
subtle to correlate with the crude results of many decades of
behavioristic psychology, and that some psychologists were now
turning to descriptions of subjective phenomena in William James,
Edmund Husserl, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty-and even in Buddhism-I
asked myself, "Why not Aron Gurwitsch as well?" After all, my
teacher regularly reflected on the types, basic concepts, and
methods of psychology, worked with Adhemar Gelb and Kurt Goldstein
in the institute investigating brain-injured veterans at Frankfurt
in the 1920s, conspicuously employed Gestalt theory to revise
central Husserlian doctrines, and taught Merleau-Ponty a thing or
two. That the last book from his Nachlass had recently been
published and that I had recently written an essay on his theory of
1 psychology no doubt helped crystallize this project for me. What
is "cognitive science"? At one point in assembling this volume I
polled the participants, asking whether they preferred "the
cognitive sciences" or "cognitive science. " Most who answered
preferred the latter expression. There is still some vagueness here
for me, but I do suspect that cognitive science is 2 another
example of what I call a "multidiscipline. " A multidiscipline
includes participants who confront a set of issues that is best
approached under more than one disciplinary perspective."
