Possibility of application of phenomenology methods in cognitive science

Paweł Gwiaździński

Abstract

The paper provides a synthetic overview of the application of the phenomenological method in cognitive science research, especially Pierre Vermersh's second-person interview, which was used by Claire Petitmengin to study cognition. The interview and microphenomenological analysis in this paper is a pioneering endeavor, as it has never before been conducted in Polish. In the first chapter, I provide a historical overview of the problem of first-person data in cognitive science and compare it to Edemund Husserl's notion of a "crisis of the sciences. In the second chapter, I look at the problem of naturalizing phenomenology and the conditions of possibility for such an endeavor. In the third chapter, I attempt a synthetic presentation of the method of the Phenomenological Movement based on Herbert Spiegelberg's work The Phenomenological Movement. A Historical Introduction. I then present a proposal for a modification of the previously discussed approach based on Daniel Schmicking's: A Tool-box of Phenomenological Methods. The second proposal is a modification taking into account the contemporary development of the phenomenological method towards empirical applications The fourth chapter is devoted to second-person interview methods, with particular emphasis on Claire Petitmengin's Microphenomenological Interview. This chapter is a practical guide to the method, adapted for use in Polish. The fifth chapter is a discussion of the first application of the microphenomenological method in Polish in the study of the experience of immersion in an audiovisual performance. In the conclusion, I present criticisms of Petitmengin's method, and outline possible ways to develop the method and increase its scientific rigor.
