Beyond the Gap: An Introduction to Naturalizing Phenomenology (Roy, Petitot, Pachoud, Varela)
Foreword
Major concern in the investigation of cognitive phenomena: how to construct a science of cognition that is in accordance with the basic sciences of nature?
-
how can husserlian phenomenology contribute to the naturalizing aspect of contemporary theory of cognition?
-
-
-
-
- Ways of naturalizing: an overview
"As If" strategy
Phenomenological descriptions are considered to be instruments for the prediction of behavior. They might not have objective content though
-
Mutual constraining
"phenomenological accounts of the structure of experience and their counterparts in cognitive science relate to each other through reciprocal constraints" (Varela 1989)
Bridge locus
A number of specific neural responses/structures are taken to be the bridge locus between the percept and the neural correlate

Generative passages
-
Requires abstract level of description encompassing both neurobiological and phenomenological data. Dynamical tools?
-
-
-
Reductionism
logical integration of two scientific theories into a unitary deductive construction by deriving concepts and propositions of one of them from the concepts and propositions of the other
-

-
- Husserl's phenomenology and the critique of naturalism p 24
DF of phenomenology according to Husserl: "descriptive theory of the essence of pure lived experiences"
-
Every element of descriptive eidetics grounded on intuition. Indirect justification as rules of definition and rules of deduction is barely used.
-
Phenomenology is a theory of intentionality of a constitutive or transcendental kind p. 33: the main task is to describe the constitution of the various domains of objects by the flow of pure lived experiences
The investigation of general structure of pure lived experiences is supplemented by the description of more specific phenomena

- The naturalist reversal of husserlian phenomenology
There is a paradox: on the one hand, this investigation should be not only descriptive, but explanatory on the basis of the mathematical models of the neurobiological level of explanation. On the other hand, Husserlian phenomenology is rooted in antinaturalist perspective
