“The author’s argue that only by having a sense of common ground between mind in science and mind in experience can our understanding of cognition be more complete. Toward that end, they develop a dialogue between cognitive science and Buddhist meditative psychology and situate it in relation to other traditions such as phenomenology and psychoanalysis.”

I enjoyed reading this list and your blog. I am slowly experiencing some of these things during my time in Chile. Isn’t Coca Cola con vino tinto called ‘Jote’ en chileno?
Absolutely, good call on the Jote. Your taste for that drink may vary with the length of your experience in Chile. Thanks for your comment and I wish you luck in your travels.
