  1. Cognitive Science, Phenomenology, and the Unity of Science - Can Phenomenology Be the Foundation of Science?Jesse Lopes - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:81-102.
    Hume once argued the basic science to be not physics but “the science of man” and the foundation of this science to be the empiricist mechanism of association governed by the law of similarity in appearance—now more popular than ever in the form of artificial neural networks. I update Hume’s picture by showing phenomenology to be centrally concerned with providing a unifying basis for all the sciences (including physics) by going beyond the psychology of associationism (passive synthesis) to reveal phenomena (...)

    Space, Movement, and the Mirror Neuron Theory. From Phenomenology to Neuroscience and Back.Prisca Amoroso - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:127-143.
    In its first part, this paper is devoted to presenting Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of space through some of his texts. Between 1942’s The Structure of Behavior and the 1953 courses, Merleau-Ponty is refining a philosophy of movement, the most important concept of which is that of motor intentionality, which articulates the phenomenological theme of intentionality in relation to the problem of a subject’s understanding of observed movement. Movement is thus related to intersubjectivity and Einfühlung. Next, we present the general aspects (...)

    Notes on the Dialogue between Phenomenology and Mathematics - Husserl and Becker.Jassen Andreev - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:205-231.
    The problems of clarifying the fundamental logical and mathe­matical concepts, and hence of accomplishing a truly radical grounding of logic and mathematics, were precisely what motivated the very beginnings of Husserl’s phenomenology. This paper is divided into two main parts. The first part focuses on the meaning and structure of Husserl’s explanation of the “logical and psychological” nature of fundamental arithmetical concepts. Particular emphasis is placed on the strategy of Philosophy of Arithmetics (1891) of analysing cardinal numbers in concepts (pivotal (...)

    Founding Phenomenological Sociology With Alfred Schütz and Max Scheler.Bruno Frère & Sébastien Laoureux - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:59-79.
    In this paper we want to re-examine the traditional belief that phenomenological sociology owes its pedigree primarily to Alfred Schütz. More specifically, we will try to show that Max Scheler is equally worthy of the title of founder of phenomenological sociology. Our argument has three interlocking themes. First of all, we will recognize, like many others before us, the undoubtedly essential contribution made by Schütz, who is generally viewed as the father of phenomenological sociology. Our second step, however, will be (...)

    The Relationship between Truth, Inference, and the Sciences in Hermeneutic Phenomenology.Stanford Howdyshell - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:103-126.
    This paper seeks to bring together two trends in contemporary phenomenological research: an investigation of the sciences and a re-exam­ination of Martin Heidegger’s understanding of logic and inference. I will do so by examining the foundations of the “just-as” truth found in the sciences, finding that scientific truth claims rest on apophantic speech, the contextual nature of disclosure, and, ultimately, the as-structure of Dasein. This leads to the implication that the laws of inference for the sciences are based on how (...)

    What’s Hermeneutical About Heidegger’s Understanding-of-Being?François Jaran - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:263-285.
    The aim of this paper is to analyze the hermeneutical nature of the concept of the understanding-of-being that grounds Heidegger’s fundamental ontology. I first consider the merging between ontology and hermeneutics that takes place in Being and Time and then interpret the hermeneutical sections of Being and Time (§§ 31–32) in order to clarify the ontological scope of under­standing, interpretation, and meaning. This allows me to examine the three dimensions of the “understanding-of-being principle” (according to which our encounter with entities (...)

    Prescience and Patience - A Reassessment of Technoscience in Light of Heidegger.Renxiang Liu - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:165-180.
    In this paper, I respond to contemporary debates on technoscience by asking about how science and technology are fusible. This directs me to Heidegger’s critique of calculative thinking in modern technology and science: it turns things into objects of representation so that they may be ordered and manipulated. The unilateral availability of objects for the subject is achieved by attending to what Heidegger called the “mathematical” in things, i.e., conceptual schemes pre-delineated before encountering things. To imagine an alternative, I transform (...)

    Body, Constitution, and Natural Computing. A Phenomenological Exploration.Martina Properzi - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:145-164.
    Digital technologies are significantly changing the way our bodies constitute, or make sense of, the world around us. This article explores the impact of a largely unexplored generation of nature-inspired digital technolo­gies on bodily constitution. After explaining the scientific background, namely the unconventional field of computer science known as natural computing, the article analyzes a case study of related digital innovation. The selected case concerns biomimetic artificial organs that restore and often enhance the visual experience of non-congenital blind people. Genetic (...)

    Zur Neufassung der Differenz von Lebenswelt, Alltagswelt und Alltäglichem Leben in der Wissenschaft: Eine phänomenologische Weiterentwicklung des Lebensweltbegriffes im Anschluss an Richard Grathoff.Benjamin Stuck - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:181-204.
    To establish phenomenologically whether there is an everyday dimen­sion within the “sub-world” of science, this paper builds on Richard Grathoff’s conceptual differentiation between “lifeworld” (Lebenswelt), “everyday world” (Alltagswelt), and “daily life” (Alltägliches Leben). Such a clarification is necessary because the notion of “lifeworld” in Husserl’s or Schutz’ oeuvre is ambiguous. It means both a universal ground and an everyday world. According to Grathoff, the lifeworld is a set of general and structural dimensions of sense that relate subjectivity and world-structure and (...)

    Outline of a Phenomenological Metacritique of Philosophy of Science.Emiliano Trizio - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:13-35.
    This article is a reflection on the present state of philosophy in light of Husserl’s crisis-concept. First, I will introduce a tentative classification of philosophical research areas, and stress the significance of philosophy of science for the present state of philosophy. Subsequently, I will use the phenomeno­logical theory of science as a foil to illuminate some distinctive features of philosophy of science, and to argue that these features can be understood as a consequence of the fragmentation of philosophy. Finally, I (...)

    Hoffen und Warten. Über das Warten als Temporalität der Tugend menschlicher Hoffnung im Denken Martin Heideggers.Johannes Vorlaufer - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:287-305.
    The article discusses the extent to which Heidegger’s thinking touches on the question of human hope and pursues the thesis: Even though the concept of hope is used only marginally in Heidegger’s work, the ques­tion of it already accompanies his early thinking and deepens in the later thinking of Being. Although Heidegger takes a critical view of the metaphy­sical concept of hope because of its intentional character and its immanent understanding of time, he at the same time asks for an (...)

    Die noetischen Horizontarten des Wahrnehmens nach Husserl unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des praktischen und szenisch-phantasmatischen Horizonts.Honghe Wang - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:235-262.
    Following Husserl, horizonality is a fundamental aspect of inten­tional acts, making the horizon a crucial element in consciousness across all subjective experiences. This article aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of various forms of the noetic horizon in perceiving. It not only considers the well-known inner and outer horizons, as well as the horizon of the kinesthetic “I-can,” but also explores the practical horizon, which has been somewhat over­looked in Husserl’s phenomenology. Furthermore, the original contribution of this study lies in (...)

    Transcendental Approaches to Quantum Mechanics. Lessons from Bohr.Harald A. Wiltsche - 2024 - Studia Phaenomenologica 24:37-58.
    The objective of this paper is to offer an analysis of several key elements within Niels Bohr’s transcendental interpretation of quantum mechanics. After some stage setting, I will demonstrate that a transcendental perspective on Bohr offers several advantages over alternative interpretations. Specifically, I will argue that some of his most contentious claims become more plausible when viewed through a transcendental lens. However, despite these strengths, Bohr’s approach faces challenges. Following an evaluation of what I consider to be the primary weakness (...)
