Fenomenología y neurociencias: interacción y equívocos

Abstract

Phenomenology comprehends an embodied first person-perspective by distinguishing between body as objectivity [Körper] and lived body [Leib] —both physic body as well as “bearer” of an ego—, that, therefore, reveals itself as the organ of perception and serves in constituent functions. Hence cognitive sciences have taken a series of descriptive elements and perspectives of analysis that, together with recent neurologic discoveries, have promoted conclusions that assume an assimilation or reduction of the first person-perspective to the third person-perspective, of motivation to causality, in short, of naturalization of intentionality. The legitimacy of these conclusions result questionable within the phenomenological frame self that they invoke.
