The Role of Affect in Creative Projects and Exploratory Search (2007, unknown): “Recent neurobiological research on mirror neurons (Thompson, 2001; Rizzolatti and Craighero, 2004; Gallese, n.d.) suggests that at least some emotions are intersubjective and can sometimes be automatically shared.”
Emotion and ethics: An inter-(en)active approach (2009, background): “the enactive approach as originally proposed by Varela, Thompson and Rosch (1991) keeps being a source of inspiration for further reflections on the many facets of mind, life and consciousness, and is constantly being refined and expanded into various domains of inquiry.”
Horizons for the Enactive Mind: Values, Social Interaction, and Play (2010, background): “We also explore, continuing on the issue of the origins of meaning, the fi eld of social cognition, the focus of many recent phenomenologically inspired criticisms ( Thompson 2001 ; Gallagher 2001 , 2005 ).”
Seeing mind in action (2012, background): “Within this literature, DP is often framed as a kind of empathy—an experientially direct person-to-person access—that underwrites more sophisticated higher-order forms of mindreading including theorizing and imaginative simulation (see Thompson 2001; Zahavi 2010).2 This paper has two primary aims.”
The functional architecture of human empathy. (2004, result): “inherently intersubjective in nature (Thompson, 2001).”
Loving and knowing: reflections for an engaged epistemology (2019, background): “…and thus that knowers are existentially involved in knowing, may form the basic set-up for understanding relationships of knowing, as also suggested by those that consider intersubjectivity the basis of consciousness (e.g. Thompson 2001; de Quincy 2000) or of language (Di Paolo et al. 2018).”
What are the benefits of mindfulness? A practice review of psychotherapy-related research. (2011, background): “Mindfulness and intersubjectivity are similar in that they both enable a sense of connection with others (Thompson, 2001), or what Thich Nhat Hanh (1987) calls interbeing.”
Participatory sense-making (2007, background): “and other (Thompson 2001; Thompson and Varela 2001).”
Mind-making practices: the social infrastructure of self-knowing agency and responsibility (2015, unknown): “…2005, 2008a, 2008b), Gallagher and Hutto (2008), Gallagher and Zahavi (2007), Hutto (2004, 2007, 2008, 2009), Hutto and Ratcliffe (2007), Kiverstein (2011), Morton (1980, 1996, 2003, 2007), Ratcliffe (2007), Ratcliffe and Gallagher (2008), Thompson (2001), Zahavi (2001), and Zawidzki (2008, 2013).”
Sociality and the life–mind continuity thesis (2009, background): “…informed approach to intersubjectivity for the cognitive sciences (e.g., Gallagher and Zahavi 2008; Gallagher 2008a; Zahavi 2001, 2005) and the enactive approach in particular (e.g., Thompson 2001, 2007), these are only the tentative beginnings of a mutually informative research program.”
The extended body: a case study in the neurophenomenology of social interaction (2012, unknown): “…activity of neurons that are active during action execution as well as action observation is in terms of the phenomenological notion 1 The interested reader is referred to, for example, Thompson 2001; Stawarska 2006; Zlatev et al. 2008; Morganti et al. 2008; Di Paolo 2009; Hutto and Ratcliffe 2010.”
Sensorimotor subjectivity and the enactive approach to experience (2005, background): “The remaining ideas were presented by Varela, Thompson, and Rosch (1991), by Thompson, Palacios, and Varela (1992), and were elaborated by Varela and Thompson in a number of subsequent papers (e.g., Varela 1991, 1997; Thompson 2001; Thompson and Varela 2001; Varela and Thompson 2003).”
Facial expression of pain: An evolutionary account (2002, background): “Thompson (2001) asserts that human consciousness is formed in the dynamic interrelation of the self and the other, and therefore it is inherently intersubjective in nature.”
Do Elephants Show Empathy (2008, background): “Empathy is a component of human consciousness (Thompson, 2001), and the ability to detect and respond appropriately to the emotions of others is a cornerstone of normal social function.”
The embodied psychotherapist: An exploration of the therapists' somatic phenomena within the therapeutic encounter (2004, background): “However, what is possible is an exploration of therapist embodiment; this may have something to say about the therapeutic encounter and the intersubjective space between client and therapist (Cole, 2001; Thompson, 2001; Toombs, 2001; Zahavi, 2001).”
Empathy versus personal distress: Recent evidence from social neuroscience. (2009, background): “Philosophers and psychologists have long debated the nature of empathy (e.g., Ickes, 2003; Thompson, 2001), and whether the capacity to share and understand other people’s emotions sets humans apart from other species (e.g., de Waal, 2005).”
