I have a new paper out! Most research on collective memory focuses on either its sociological or its psychological aspects. I complement those approaches with a phenomenological analysis of how collective remembering is experienced from the first-person perspective. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
What is the Phenomenology of Collective Memory? - Review of Philosophy and Psychology
This paper provides a phenomenological analysis of collective memory, that is, the shared recollection of past events that are relevant for the identity of a group and its members. Focusing on the phe...

I just got an email notifying me that a paper I published 2 years ago has finally been published in an actual issue of Phenomenology of the Cognitive Sciences. So now, a paper I wrote years ago and was "Bogotá (2023)" is now technically my latest publication. I don't know how to feel about all this

I'm back from the dead to announce a paper that was published a couple of days ago and that I worked on. We're all very proud of this one. We elaborate on Varela’s neurophenomenology, proposing Bayesian mechanics as a generative passage between phenomenology and neurobiology.

Abstract. The context for our paper comes from the neurophenomenology (NPh) research programme initiated by Francisco Varela at the end of the 1990s. Varel

I love you Britain, but after having a proper taste of Finnish trains over the last four months I don’t think I want to travel in one of your trains ever again.

I find it hilarious that Springer allowed two books in the same series to have essentially the same title.

New paper: I explore the possibility of integrating enactivism and the Free Energy Principle to address life and mind. I examine some of the arguments in favour and against their integration, and claim that something close to it is possible.

It’s so heartbreaking when you’re reading a manuscript you are reviewing that at first shows a lot of promise, but then starts falling apart when the authors are developing their own proposal

I tend to tell myself that I am first and foremost a phenomenologist and that is all I want to write about, but then I go on to write 3000 words about the distinction between causal and constitutive scientific explanations. Oh well

Recently, an alleged anthropomorphism at the core of enactivism has been discussed given the reliance on phenomenology when examining life and mind. In a new paper, I address the role that phenomenology can play concerning biology within enactivism.

One of the ideas that characterises the enactive approach to cognition is that life and mind are deeply continuous, which means that both phenomena share the same basic set of organisational and pheno...

In most of my papers, I ramble on about time-consciousness and its importance for our understanding of consciousness. But that is only half of the story! As I see it, temporality and affectivity come together. In this new paper, I explain why. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

One of the (many) things I hate about grading is that, not being a native English speaker, finding awkwardly written phrases makes me go in a downward spiral in which I doubt myself before considering the fact that some of those phrases simply don't make any sense, which makes grading take longer

As an undergrad, I’d often skip writing research questions that lecturers asked us to write before writing final essays for their modules. I’d go directly to writing the essay. I regret it. I feel like I don’t know how to write a compelling & concrete proposal even when I feel I have good intuitions

Sometimes I'm like "I'm all for the naturalization of phenomenology", but other times I'm more like "When we mix phenomenological and empirical categories everything stops making sense".
