comments

• This book is the one of the most seminal works in the field of cognitive studies, written as it was in the heyday of psychological foundations and original investigations. It is all the more important as it combines the insights from a *new philosophy and science*, that of phenomenology (after Husserl), with that of cognitive studies, resulting in a resource of wide and ecclectic influences.

• The influence of this book is limited to certain schools of European philosophy; it has had no impact on experimentalists, or even on scientific theories.
