This time around, we have the chance of getting to know Prof. Dan Zahavi of the University of Copenhagen, one of phenomenology's top researchers, whose thought expresses a particular voice in the philosophy of mind and interdisciplinary cognitive research. Today, we shall explore topics regarding phenomenology in our present scientific context, Edmund Husserl's takes on phenomenology, the influence of the history of philosophy on shaping contemporary cognitive research and the links and possibilities between phenomenology and psychology, in both method and practice.

This summer, Europe’s Journal of Psychology hosts a fruitful discussion about phenomenology, its method, the possibilities of application in today's context and its current troubled waters stemming from recent historical-ideological debates. Prof. Roberta De Monticelli offers lush and informative answers to provocative issues like overdriving the epoché, Heidegger's dark undertones, the relation between pedagogy and authorship in phenomenology and the idea of filtering politics through Husserlian phenomenology.

Constructivism and enactivism are proposing opposite philosophies regarding the teaching of mathematics. The article explores the roots of kinaesthetic constructivism in Husserl’s phenomenology of the lived body. Then, the article describes the main points on which enactivism explicitly differs from constructivism. Finally, the article lists the criteria for opposing or bringing together constructivism and enactivism and argues that constructivism and enactivism aim for different pedagogical results and have different teaching functions.  Keywords: Kinaesthetic constructivism; Enactivism; Husserl; I can; Learning.
