{"product_id":"cognitive-phenomenology-elijah-chudnoff-9780415660242","title":"Cognitive Phenomenology","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhenomenology is about subjective aspects of the mind, such as the conscious states associated with vision and touch, and the conscious states associated with emotions and moods, such as feelings of elation or sadness. These states have a distinctive first-person 'feel' to them, called their phenomenal character. In this respect they are often taken to be radically different from mental states and processes associated with thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first book to fully question this orthodoxy and explore the prospects of cognitive phenomenology, applying phenomenology to the study of thought and cognition. Does cognition have its own phenomenal character? Can introspection tell us either way? If consciousness flows in an unbroken 'stream' as William James argued, how might a punctuated sequence of thoughts fit into it? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElijah Chudnoff begins with a clarification of the nature of the debate about cognitive phenomenology and the network of concepts and theses that are involved in it. He then examines the following topics: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eintrospection and knowledge of our own thoughts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ephenomenal contrast arguments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe value of consciousness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe temporal structure of experience\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe holistic character of experience and the interdependence of sensory and cognitive states\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe relationship between phenomenal character and mental representation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluding chapter summaries, annotated further reading, and a glossary, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking a clear and informative introduction to and assessment of cognitive phenomenology, whether philosophy student or advanced researcher.
