The older you get the righter

The older you get the righter the binary Cartesian vision of body and soul seems. Tied to a dying carcass…  increasingly it seems that the inversecof happening, a dying mind attached to a living carcass ….

Naturally, phenomenology and neuroscience find a convergence of common interests. However, primarily because of ontological disagreements between phenomenology and philosophy of mind, the dialogue between these two disciplines is still a very controversial subject.[9] 

Husserl himself was very critical towards any attempt to “naturalizing” philosophy, and his phenomenology was founded upon a criticism of empiricism, “psychologism“, and “anthropologism” as contradictory standpoints in philosophy and logic.[10][11] The influential critique of the ontological assumptions of computationalist and representationalist cognitive science, as well as artificial intelligence, made by philosopher Hubert Dreyfus has marked new directions for integration of neurosciences with an embodied ontology. 

The work of Dreyfus has influenced cognitive scientists and neuroscientists to study phenomenology and embodied cognitive science and/or enactivism. One such case is neuroscientist Walter Freeman, whose neurodynamical  analysis has a marked Merleau-Pontyian approach.[12]

Wiki Dreyfus <  Knowing-how and knowing-that. Research in psychology and economics has been able to show that Dreyfus’ (and Heidegger’s) speculation about the nature of human problem solving was essentially correct. Daniel Kahnemann and Amos Tversky collected a vast amount of hard evidence that human beings use two very different methods to solve problems, which they named “system 1” and “system 2”. System one, also known as the  adaptive unconscious, is fast, intuitive and unconscious. System 2 is slow, logical and deliberate.
