  • A remarkable book which encompasses a coherent manifold of important subjects and central issues in the fields of the neurosciences, the phenomenology, the philosophy of mathematics, of logic and of mind
  • An original book which proposes a new phenomenological analysis of the questions of perception and cognition which are of paramount importance for a better understanding of those processes which underlies the formation of knowledge and consciousness
  • Contributes to elucidate the deep connection between the organization of the phenomenal world and the dynamical structures of perception and cognition.
  • Readers can find many clear arguments showing how a phenomenological perspective helps to deeply interpret most fundamental findings of current research in neurosciences and also in mathematical and physical sciences
  • A very original and unique feature: it puts phenomenology in the broad perspective of the most recent developments of philosophical reflection and science, and by rigorous comparative analysis demonstrates the profound interest of a renewed phenomenological approach to our current philosophical and scientific culture

About this book

Beyond their remarkable technical accomplishments, the new directions taken by the sciences in recent decades call for renewal of their epistemological basis. The purpose of this book is to show that Husserl’s transcendental phenomenology, if properly re-examined, provides the required framework for such an epistemology. This re-examination is both critical and constructive. (i) The absolute subjectivization or the full naturalization of consciousness must be rejected. (ii) The necessarily transcendental character of phenomenology is put to work in the search for a systematic connection between the modes of theoretical objectivation and the apprehension of the phenomenal world by intentional consciousness. A new look at some of the fundamental issues opened up by Husserl is thus suggested by recent advances in the theory of perception, attention, and the will; foundations of mathematics and formal logic; space-time or quantum physics.
