1. The Phenomenological Mind
An Introduction to Philosophy of Mind and Cognitive Science
An accessible introduction to a phenomenological approach to the mind, showing how consciousness, selfhood, perception, action, and social understanding are fundamentally embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended. It clarifies notions such as intentionality and pre-reflective self-awareness, connects first-person experience with findings from cognitive science and neuroscience, and applies the framework to topics like time-consciousness, emotion, agency, and intersubjectivity. Through engagement with empirical studies and clinical cases, it offers an integrated, anti-reductionist account of how experience and cognition are structured.
