Hi Jerry,
Good post but the details seem a little off.
<snip> '... Terry¹s radically empirical position depends on the discovery of
an ³executive function² (Chuck Burnette) in cognitive neuro-science. ' <end>
Nope.
One of the essential differences that new findings of neuroscience bring is
there is no need for an executive function in explaining phenomena or human
action, thought and feelings.
The idea that an executive function is needed is a throwback to the
subjectivist view of phenomenology based on the reification of the idea
there is a 'me' that is doing the looking. Ditto the idea of looking through
the window to see if one is there.
Regarding sense of self as an illusion IS the phenomenological position -
so far usurped by subjective pseudo-phenomenology.
Best wishes,
Terry
