TY - JOUR AU - Di Bernardo, Mirko PY - 2021/04/12 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - The dimensions of intentionality in the dialogue between functional neurodynamics and phenomenology. A comparison between Freeman and Merleau-Ponty JF - Medicina e Morale JA - MedMoral VL - 70 IS - 1 SE - Original Articles DO - 10.4081/mem.2021.930 UR - https://www.medicinaemorale.it/mem/article/view/930 SP - 73-90 AB - The contribution intends to investigate the notion of intentionality in its multidimensionality, comparing Freeman’s neurobiological perspective with some ingenious philosophical intuitions of Merleau-Ponty with particular reference to the concepts of the intentional arc and the tendency to achieve a maximal grip. These investigations make it possible to interpret the most recent experimental data within an epistemological framework capable of explaining the development of the structures of human behavior using a specific genealogical approach inspired by an evolutionary non-reductionist naturalism.
