A classic in its field, this comprehensive book introduces the core
history of phenomenology and assesses its relevance to contemporary
psychology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science. It provides
a jargon-free explanation of central themes in the works of
Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty. From artificial
intelligence to embodiment and enactivism, Kaufer and Chemero go on
to trace how phenomenology has produced a valuable framework for
analyzing cognition and perception, whose impact on contemporary
psychological and scientific research, and philosophical debates,
continues to grow. New to this second edition are a treatment of
nineteenth-century precursors of experimental psychology; a
detailed exploration of Husserl's analysis of the body; and a
discussion of the work of Aron Gurwitsch and other philosophers and
psychologists who explored the intersection of phenomenology and
Gestalt psychology. The new material also includes an expanded
consideration of enactivism, and an up-to-date examination of
current work in phenomenologically informed cognitive science. This
is an ideal introduction to phenomenology and cognitive science for
the uninitiated, and will shed new light on the topic for
experienced readers, showing clearly the contemporary relevance and
influence of phenomenological ideas.
