The Experimental Phenomenology of Perception. A Collective Reflection on the Present and Future of this Approach

The Experimental Phenomenology of Perception is a research approach in Psychology in Italy that is inspired by Gestalt Psychology, with its own specific theoretical differences. Several scholars have contributed to this approach, each with their own interpretation and willingness to integrate ideas from other approaches. The starting point for this approach is a careful investigation of the structure of perceptual phenomena, which some see as the final objective. The theoretical premises and methodologies of this approach have been rigorously discussed and are part of an established tradition of thought, although they can still be further developed. The question is whether this approach is the only way to contribute to contemporary Cognitive Sciences, or if there are other ways in which it can be important.
