HFIA03734U Modul 9: Central topics in phenomenology and philosophy of mind
Phenomenology and analytical philosophy count as two of the most
influential philosophical traditions in the 20th Century.
Unfortunately, in the past their relationship has not
exactly been characterized by fruitful cooperation and exchange;
rather, most of the time it has ranged from complete disregard to
outright hostility.
Recently, however, things have started to change. A growing number
of analytical philosophers of mind have started paying attention to
arguments and analyses to be found in the phenomenological
treatment of issues like intentionality, self-consciousness,
subjectivity, embodiment and social cognition. Likewise, many
phenomenologists are currently engaged in lively exchanges with
their analytical colleagues. This ongoing dialogue now stands as
one of the most dynamic and productive areas in contemporary
philosophical research.
This course (which is a module in the master specialization in
phenomenology and philosophy of mind) shall explore a number of
topics that are of concern to both, phenomenologists and analytical
philosophers of mind. It will show that analytical philosophy can
profit from phenomenological insights, just as phenomenology can
learn from analytical philosophy. It will also examine some of the
ways that philosophical approaches to mind can productively engage
with empirical work on consciousness and cognition. Three topics
will be singled out for special attention: 1) Intentionality and
consciousness, 2) social cognition, and 3)
embodiment.
