This page collects international resources on the intersection between phenomenology of Husserlian kind or origin and the new (neuro-)cognitive science, a non-reductionist science of cognition which takes consciousness seriously.
This bibliography has been inspired by the book " Petitot, J.-Varela, F.-Pachoud, B.- Roy J.M. (editors.), Naturalizing phenomenology. Issues in contemporary phenomenology and cognitive science, Standford University Press, Standford (California), 1999".
The page contains also some international Phenomenology Resources (archives, sites, institutes)
