Aims to bring phenomenology and analytic philosophy together - how phenomenology may lead to progress on problems in analytic research, and how analytical philosophy may shed light on phenomenological concerns. This book includes topics as consciousness, intentionality, perception, action, self-knowledge, temporal awareness, and mental content.
Philosophical work on the mind flowed in two streams through the 20th century: phenomenology and analytic philosophy. This volume aims to bring them together again, by demonstrating how work in phenomenology may lead to significant progress on problems central to current analytic research, and how analytical philosophy of mind may shed light on phenomenological concerns. Leading figures from both traditions contribute specially written essays on such central topics as consciousness, intentionality, perception, action, self-knowledge, temporal awareness, and mental content. Phenomenologyand Philosophy of Mind demonstrates that these different approaches to the mind should not stand in opposition to each other, but can be mutually illuminating.
...informative about the several, important respects in which phenomology meets the analytic tradition...a welcome addition to the expanding literature on the subject.
