Abstract
Liliana Albertazzi, in the Introduction to her Handbook of Experimental Phenomenology (Albertazzi 2013), explains that there are “two main ‘classical’ versions of phenomenology: the Husserlian and the experimental version of Stumpf and Michotte”, i.e. “the outstanding tradition of experimental inquiry which culminated in Gestalt psychology”. Albertazzi then raised the following problems: “what is the difference between the two classic versions of phenomenology”, and are they “incompatible with each other, in that one pertains to philosophical analysis and the other to science”, or rather are they “in some way concordant”? (ibid., pp. 1 f.)

Rizzolatti and his collaborators’ current findings that groups of neurons in the premotor areas are activated only when an animal performs a given movement for a given purpose, seem to suggest a nervous system ‘programmed’ not so much on the basis of effectors, but as a function of the tasks to be performed, hence, according to the strategies that the system must implement, from time to time, to achieve certain purposes.
