ABSTRACT
This interview with Claire Petitmengin was conducted by Donata Schoeller and Sigridur Thorgeirsdottir in May 2023. In it, Petitmengin discusses the purpose of micro-phenomenology and the ways in which its disciplined exploration of lived experience creates new possibilities for cognitive science and provokes shifts in philosophical intuitions. Petitmengin details a series of surprising realisations that emerge from micro-phenomenological research, discussing the felt experience of meaning, micro-phenomenology’s therapeutic resonances, and its contributions to understanding environmental embeddedness.
