The Enactive Scientific Study of Experience (2021)
Edited by Camila Valenzuela-Moguillansky, Ema Demšar & Alexander Riegler
Constructivist Foundations 16(2)
In the last few decades, the mainstream view in cognitive science has been challenged by the proposal to recognize the role of the observer and her embodied experience in the generation of knowledge. In particular, Francisco Varela’s enactive approach to cognition provides the opportunity to scientifically study experience. His neurophenomenological research prompted the dialogue between mainstream third-person approach and the disciplined study of experience from a first-person perspective. The first-person study of experience has already a few well-defined methods but a coherent framework for first-person research is still under construction. The purpose of this special issue is to contribute to the formulation of this alternative research program and to explore its possibilities and limitations.
