Neurophenomenological Triptych. Introduction
Journal Title: AVANT. Pismo awangardy filozoficzno-naukowej - Year 2010, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the research program initiated by the late Francisco Varela was to naturalize phenomenology in the frame of neurobiology, and to apply it to the different areas of theory and practice in science and philosophy (embodiment, enactivism). It meets certain challenges like the explanatory gap or the problem of clarity and credibility of the subjective reports.
