Orientations

Excerpt from the “Appendix”:
published on FeldSci IFF Research group;
April 5, 2022, following the Book Review
related to György Buzsáki’s The Brain from Inside Out in relation to the work (lessons, books, lectures, articles) of Feldenkrais

“I. The project could have several levels: […]
– collect all the lessons that can be associated with certain aspects highlighted by the work of neuroscientists gleaned from reading his book and that we use in Feldenkrais. This would highlight the importance of the underlying elements in the Feldenkrais Method in relation to the elements identified in the work of scientists beyond GB’s book; 
– […] consider how these elements and the complexity of the Method might serve the work of cognitive science; 
– […] list all the possible references in Feldenkrais’s intellectual journey that contributed to his understanding or to the support of certain intuitions and experiences he had made (by himself, on himself and by working with others, in a continuous and attentive dialogue);
–[…] [establish] an index of all references to scientific works in the corpus as a whole and/or to support by references within that corpus possible knowledge against which he himself would have developed or combined and composed/elaborated his exploratory processes.
II. […] bring out the scientific references that contribute to the elaboration by Feldenkrais of the learning processes and favour the further development of each individual from his or her actuality – in principle and ideally as an expression of a continuous elaboration.
III. Editing all the lectures given by Feldenkrais with a critical apparatus
This would be a long-term research programme, but its progress could be accelerated if we were to begin by creating a database of all the scientific references mentioned by Feldenkrais, through collaborative work.
