PROBLEM OF MIND: PHENOMENOLOGICAL FACES

Abstract

The article reviews the research perspective of reflexive-phenomenological analysis of mind as methodological effort to combine reflexive and reductionist philosophical traditions. Author actualizes the temporal characteristics of reflection on the basis of ideas of R. Descartes, A. Bergson and E. Husserl. Also author critically assesses the shortcomings of behaviorism. In the course of reflection, author uses a number of relevant arguments by British mathematician R. Penrose. Penrose considers the problem of understanding as an outgoing problem of the scientific theory of mind and analyzes mind as an unrecog- nizable phenomenon.
