Prof. Jeffrey Yoshimi, a cognitive science expert from UC Merced, and PhD candidate Darius Parvizi-Wayne delve into the fascinating intersection of phenomenology and mathematics. They discuss how mathematical methods can enhance phenomenological inquiry, challenging Husserl's critique of modern science. The duo explores flow states through active inference, links Heidegger's thoughts with contemporary cognitive science, and examines self-specification in consciousness. Their dialogue sheds light on the rich interplay between lived experiences and mathematical frameworks.
