The singularity of the affective body : incorporation and orientation in the French phenomenological reception of Husserl
Classical phenomenology operates with an ultimately reductive account of cognition, insofar as the focus remains with the rationality of a thought in supposed adequation to itself and the essential generalities ultimately referable to it.
