This essay is an attempt to show the significance of a phenomenological approach towards the cognitive explanations of bodily awareness . Shaun Gallagher, for example, is one of the authors who has tried to develop phenomenological descrip - tions within cognitive science. This essay is a critical analysis of this embodied cognitive approach. I will use Husserl's genetic phenomenological description. In such description, the body is more than just an intentional object; it becomes the realm of the pre-reflexive and kinesthetic.
