Reflecting Ricoeur's saying: "It is not the brain, what thinks, it is me."

I wish to come back to the ,,failed dialogue" between Changeux and Ric oe cur in order to understand better what is the difficulty in the relation between neurosciences and phenomenology. Is this apparent difficulty real, and in that case, should it be considered insurmountable? Long before there was talk of ,,cognitive neurosciences", the Voluntary and the Involuntary opened up the perspective of the phenomenology of action that was overcome over in the hermeneutical orientation of Ric oe ceur's later works. The relaunching of the phenomenology of action might contribute to the elucidation of neurosciences and cognitive sciences by recalling the intuitions of phenomenology of the own body and empathy. This is a new occasion to verify how far teaching of our master Ric oe ur is fruitful even beyond his own domain.
