The gap between analytic philosophy and phenomenology, which has strongly characterized the philosophical landscape of the second half of the twentieth century, has been overcome by now, in particular in philosophy of mind. It seems to me that the two approaches can be complementary: analytic philosophy pays much attention on the use of language and on the validity of arguments, while phenomenological analyses offer rich and detailed descriptions of conscious mental phenomena.

In a series of publications I have tried to combine aspects from the two traditions and bring them together in a unified whole. In other, more historically oriented papers, I have tried to understand how the rift between the two traditions has come about.
