"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 cognitive sciences, phenomenology and consciousness, consciousness and self-consciousness, time and consciousness, intentionality, the embodied mind, action, knowledge of other minds, situated and extended minds, phenomenology and personal identity. This second edition includes a new preface, and revised and improved chapters. Also included are helpful features such as chapter summaries, guides to further reading, and a glossary, making The Phenomenological Mind an ideal introduction to key concepts in phenomenology, cognitive science, and philosophy of mind."--p.
