- What is phenomenology?

- consciousness and self-consciousness, including perception and action
- time and consciousness, including William James
- intentionality
- the embodied mind
- action
- knowledge of other minds
- situated and extended minds
- phenomenology and personal identity
Interesting and important examples are used throughout, including phantom limb syndrome, blindsight and self-disorders in schizophrenia, making The Phenomenological Mind an ideal introduction to key concepts in phenomenology, cognitive science and philosophy of mind.
