Hi Everyone This months "Theory and Psychology" journal has many fascinating articles. There is an article by Felder exploring Merleau-Ponty and his relevance for applied psycholgy. Another article by Larkin on embodied, active, situated cognition that gives an historical overview of the evolution of phenomenology [2 phases with the 2nd phase engaging with hermeneutics from Merleau-Ponty's perspective]. This article suggests there have been 3 phases of the cognitive revolution and the 3rd stage is an embodied, active situated model of cognition. Also a book review on V. Reddy's 2nd person account of how we know minds. Also an article on Dewey's "psychology" These articles together are extending my reflections on "fly-bottles", frameworks, horizon of understanding, as the intersubjective meaningful ground for our developing perspectives [seeing-as] that are both perceptual and epistemological [as a gestalt with no gaps] I was especially intrigued by Felder's approach to Merleau-Ponty in his elaboration of a "cultural-existential" hybrid perspective. It may be too clinical in its specific focus, but the general framework was for me a deepening of the conversation.
