Neurophenomenology of Hearing: Relations to Intentionality and Time Consciousness
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of my—admittedly rather programmatic—talk is to show some shortcomings in neurophenomenology, often related to its strong focus on vision. By the same token, I will illustrate the particular fruitfulness of considering auditory phenomena in improving our understanding of time consciousness and of intuition and intentionality. Because of this, the topic of my talk also has more general interest for the philosophy of mind, extending beyond inner-phenomenological issues and debates.

Philosophical Issues : Phenomenology
Current scientific research on consciousness aims to understand how consciousness arises from the workings of the brain and body, as well as the relations between conscious experience and cognitive processing. Clearly, to make progress in these areas, researchers cannot avoid a range of conceptual issues about the nature and structure of consciousness, such as the following: What is the relatio...
متن کامل[Francisco Varela's neurophenomenology of time: temporality of consciousness explained?].
This article attempts to clarify Francisco Varela's proposal of a neurophenomenology of time consciousness in the light of distinctions based on the philosophical literature of phenomenology and recent advances of neurobiology. The analysis is carried out considering three aspects. In the first of them, we discuss the phenomenological aspect of consciousness, accessible in first-person, which d...
متن کاملAntoine Lutz and Evan Thompson Neurophenomenology Integrating Subjective Experience and Brain Dynamics in the Neuroscience of Consciousness
The paper presents a research programme for the neuroscience of consciousness called ‘neurophenomenology’ (Varela 1996) and illustrates it with a recent pilot study (Lutz et al., 2002). At a theoretical level, neurophenomenology pursues an embodied and large-scale dynamical approach to the neurophysiology of consciousness (Varela 1995; Thompson and Varela 2001; Varela and Thompson 2003). At a m...

متن کاملToward a neurophenomenology as an account of generative passages: A first empirical case study
This paper analyzes an explicit instantiation of the program of “neurophenomenology” (Varela, 1996) in a neuroscientific protocol. Neurophenomenology takes seriously the importance of linking the scientific study of consciousness to the careful examination of experience with a specific first-person methodology. My first claim is that such strategy is a fruitful heuristic because it produces new...
