The Phenomenological Mind

"The Phenomenological Mind" is the first book to properly introduce fundamental questions about the mind from the perspective of phenomenology. Key questions and topics covered include: What is phenomenology?; naturalizing phenomenology and the empirical cognitive sciences; phenomenology and consciousness; consciousness and self-consciousness, including perception and action; time and consciousness, including William James; intentionality; the embodied mind; action; knowledge of other minds; situated and extended minds; and phenomenology and personal identity. Interesting and important examples are used throughout, including phantom limb syndrome, blindsight and self-disorders in schizophrenia, making "The Phenomenological Mind" an ideal introduction to key concepts in phenomenology, cognitive science, and philosophy of mind.
