Transcendental phenomenology presumed to have overcome the classic mind-body dichotomy in terms of consciousness, yet, according to progress in scientific studies, the biological functions of the brain seem to appropriate significant functions attributed traditionally to consciousness.
The challenge presented by the recent tendencies to "e;naturalize"e; phenomenology, on the basis of the progress in biological and neurological sciences, calls for an investigation of the traditional mind-body problem.
