cognitive phenomenology
Definition
- The term cognitive phenomenology refers to the idea that the phenomenal quality of experience is not limited to the sensory or feeling states but that there is, in Thomas Nagel's phrase, “something it is like” to engage in higher-order cognitive acts like thinking, judging, or evaluating. The claim that there is a phenomenal or experiential aspect to thinking is controversial, with some philosophers arguing against the idea (e.g., David Braddon-Mitchell and Frank Jackson, Peter Carruthers, Michael Tye) and others arguing in favor of it (e.g., Terence Horgan and John Tienson, Charles Siewert, Galen Strawson, or Dan Zahavi).
