FoNTI-Project

My project explores the conditions of interdisciplinary research into (normative) mind-phenomena. Looking at work done on social cognition in individuals on the autism spectrum as a case of such an interdisciplinary effort, I am focusing especially on the potential that the application of phenomenological concepts may hold here.

Supervisors: Judith Martens, Hans Bernhard Schmid, Herwig Grimm
