Michel Bitbol et al., « Mindful clarification: why it is necessary to necessary to reply once again to Stone and Zahavi », HAL SHS (Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société), ID : 10670/1.4848a0...
According to their response (to which we, in turn, respond with the present paper), Stone and Zahavi did not really claim that phenomenology is "exclusively concerned with the mind-world correlation," and thus did not fall into the trap of an abstract dualistic separation between mind and world. This inflection opens the way to a richer understanding of phenomenology that is more likely to be compatible with Buddhism. They also remind us that Dan Zahavi has rightly argued for decades that epoché and reduction are "essential to phenomenological philosophy. This latter remark strongly mitigates the original claim made by Stone and Zahavi in their "Phenomenology and Mindfulness" that epoché and reduction are not "indispensable" to "phenomenology".
