Å bedrive fenomenologi med ord

Hovedinnhold
Abstract
I'll argue that in some historical discussions between phenomenologists and analytic philosophers of mind we can find complementary phenomenological methods. One method follows along the line of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty. The other follows the kind of analysis of speech-acts, avowals and “unstudied speech” proposed by Ryle and Austin in what they called their phenomenologies of our in-the-world, enactive use of language. I propose that one might conceive of combining these methods into a 'double phenomenology’. One place where this double phenomenology can do some work is in the area of social cognition.
Areas of research
My areas of research include phenomenology and the cognitive sciences, especially topics related to embodiment, self, agency and intersubjectivity, hermeneutics, and the philosophy of time.
