ABSTRACT

In the context of sensorimotor coordination in the field of presence, the smallest temporal unit of perception and movement, this paper reviews Edmund Husserl's phenomenological analysis of kinesthesis (which refers to the interaction of perception and movement) and protention (which refers to future-directed consciousness in the field of presence), as well as cognitive science hypotheses and interpretations of the forward model (which predicts sensory feedback of motor commands). In doing so, the paper argues that the interrelated perception and movement are future-directed, and that there is a resonance between phenomenological analyses of the fulfillment or disappointment of future-directed consciousness on the one hand, and cognitive science hypotheses about the congruence and incongruence of predicted and actual sensory feedback on the other. By showing that phenomenology can capture and describe new problems by referring to the work of the cognitive sciences, this paper provides an example of transdisciplinary research at the intersection of philosophy and science.
