’The Value of Reality’: Reconsidering Merleau-Ponty’s Account of Hallucination

In his short, but philosophically rich discussion of hallucination in


the Phenomenology of Perception, Merleau-Ponty emphasizes that any satisfactory
account of the phenomenon must be able to explain two things: first, the fact that
patients mostly distinguish between their hallucinations and their perceptions, and
secondly, the fact that hallucinations nevertheless can deceive patients. He attempts
to meet both desiderata by sketching an account according to which hallucinatory
experiences do not have the full-fledged ‘horizonal’ structure of genuinely perceptual
ones, but where the two have a certain basic ‘function’ in common, such that
hallucinations may come to have the ‘value of reality’. However, as I suggest in my
talk, it is unclear whether Merleau-Ponty’s account succeeds in meeting these
desiderata. On Komarine Romdenh-Romluc’s reading of Merleau-Ponty – which to
my knowledge offers the clearest, most thorough reconstruction of his account of
hallucination to date – his account is incoherent, I shall argue. Given this, the
principle of charity demands that we raise the question of whether Romdenh-
Romluc’s reading is mandatory. I suggest it is not, and proceed to sketch an
alternative reading, which meets the desiderata.

Joel Krueger

Joel Krueger is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy


at the University of Exeter. He primarily works in
phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and
philosophy of cognitive science: specifically,
issues in 4E (embodied, embedded, enacted,
extended) cognition, including emotions, social
cognition, and psychopathology. Sometimes he
also writes about comparative philosophy and
philosophy of music.

E-style Externalism and Phenomenology: An


Integrative Approach to Psychopathology

A family of recent approaches in the philosophy


of mind argues that our psychological capacities
are synchronically and diachronically scaffolded by external (i.e., beyond-the-brain)
resources. These approaches — sometimes referred to as “4E cognition” — treat the
mind as embodied, embedded, enacted, and possibly even extended beyond the
head. Some now argue that we need more “Es” to stress the ecological, emotional,
and enculturated character of mind. I term this family of approaches “E-style
externalism” to differentiate it from other flavors of externalism on offer (e.g.,
semantic externalism).

In this talk, I consider what E-style externalism might contribute to some current
debates in the philosophy of psychiatry. More precisely, I consider how E-style
externalism might usefully supplement phenomenological approaches to
psychopathology. The latter find the roots of mental illness in disturbances of basic
structures of consciousness such as self-awareness, intentionality, embodiment,
spatiality, and temporality. Phenomenological approaches are useful for determining
how disturbances of these structures generate psychopathological experiences.
However, I suggest that E-style externalism can usefully supplement these
approaches by emphasizing the richly situated character of mental illness —
specifically, the active role environmental factors play in generating, regulating, and
sustaining psychopathological experiences. I discuss what it might mean to adopt an
integrative approach to psychopathology using resources from both E-style
externalism and phenomenology, and I consider some case studies including
schizophrenia, depression, and autism.

Mark Wrathall

Mark Wrathall is Professor of


Philosophy at the University
of Oxford, and Fellow and
Tutor of Corpus Christi
College. He has recently
completed work editing The
Cambridge Heidegger
Lexicon (CUP 2019), and is
preparing to publish a
collection of his essays under
the title Phenomenology and
Human Existence (OUP
2020). In recent years, he has been investigating the phenomenology of agency,
and its implications for the way we think about responsibility and authenticity. This
research is coalescing into a book-length manuscript on selfhood and temporality in
post-Kantian European philosophy (under contract with OUP).

The Temporal Structure of Experience and Varieties of Temporal Style

Ever since Husserl’s research into the phenomenology of “time-consciousness,”


temporality has played a significant foundational role in phenomenological accounts
of perception, thought, and intention. In his account of time-consciousness, Husserl
attempted “to put objective time and subjective time-consciousness into the proper
relationship and to reach an understanding of how temporal objectivity ... can
become constituted in the subjective consciousness of time.” In my talk, I’ll look at
Heidegger’s and Merleau-Ponty’s subsequent attempts to carry on this project. I will
start by introducing their understanding of the temporal structure of experience in
general. I’ll then explore the idea that there are fundamentally different modes (or
styles or characters) of temporality, each of which gives a distinctively different
structure or shape to our intentional engagement with the world. I’ll conclude with
some thoughts about how to understand the transition between one temporal mode
and another.

Sara Heinämaa

Sara Heinämaa is research professor


(2017–2021) of the Academy of
Finland and professor of philosophy at
the University of Jyväskylä. In her
systematic work, Heinämaa
investigates the nature of embodiment,
intersubjectivity, and temporality. Her
exegetic work is focused on the
philosophies of Husserl, Heidegger,
Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, and Beauvoir.
She has published widely in
phenomenology, existentialism,
philosophy of mind, and history of
philosophy. Her most important publications include, Phenomenology and the
Transcendental (with Hartimo and Miettinen, Routledge 2014), New Perspectives on
Aristotelianism and Its Critics (with Mäkinen and Tuominen, Brill 2015), Birth, Death,
and Femininity (with Schott et al. Indiana UP 2010), and Toward A Phenomenology
of Sexual Difference (Rowman and Littlefield 2003).

The Normativity of Experiencing: From Perceptions to Obligations

The lecture starts by pointing out that the terms “normative” and “norm” operate in
several different senses in contemporary phenomenology. It distinguishes between
five main contexts in which these terms are used today: first, analyses of the basic
structures of intentionality; second, investigations of interested perception and the
dynamics of appearing; and third, discussions of “the gaze” and social recognition;
fourth, analyses of forms of bodily comportment; and fifth, discussions of the
experiential grounds of ethics. In these five contexts, the terms “norm” and
“normative” are used in different meanings and with different connotations. The basic
ideas of regulation, rule-following, and correctness are implied by all usages, but the
types of rules and the types of correctness at issue vary. In order to organize the
field, the paper distinguishes between three irreducible senses of the term “norm”
and identifies several ambiguous usages in which these senses conflate. The paper
ends by suggesting a practical solution for the specification of phenomenological
discourses on normativity.

Dan Zahavi

Dan Zahavi is Professor of


Philosophy at University of
Copenhagen and University of
Oxford and Director of the Center for
Subjectivity Research in
Copenhagen. In his systematic
work, Zahavi has mainly been
investigating the nature of selfhood,
self-consciousness, intersubjectivity,
and social cognition from a
phenomenological perspective. He
is currently working and publishing on issues related to we-intentionality and group-
identification. He is author and editor of more than 25 volumes including Subjectivity
and Selfhood (MIT Press 2005), The Phenomenological Mind together with S.
Gallagher (Routledge 2008/2012), Self and Other (OUP 2014), Husserl’s
Legacy (OUP 2017), and Phenomenology: The Basics (Routledge 2019).

Phenomenology: The attitude, the reduction, and the application

Taking my point of departure in recent attempts to apply phenomenology within the


domain of cognitive science and qualitative research, I will discuss what we might
learn about phenomenology by looking at its application. Is phenomenology primarily
a method, a special attitude or stance, or rather best conceived as a particular
theoretical framework?
