| Abstrakt: | 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. |
