Dear Charles
Let me try to explain 'cognition can happen only in the now'.
Take for example the act of seeing. This can happen only in the now?
The moment I saw cognition took place. In a fragmented mind/ body situation
this may not happen which is cognitive dissonance.
As we experience cognition is taking place in the now. Thinking can take
place later.
And when you say "Mental phenomenology deserves a place beside the
phenomenology that combines sense data with memories" points to the issue
that mind and body are functioning as seperate entities. what i claim is
that this happens due to our being-ness getting rooted in the realm of
language from very young age. Children are forced in to the linguistic
world befor letting them to root themselves in the real world.
