Cognitive Feelings November 18, 2025 Jérôme Dokic
Abstract Both literature and science contain numerous descriptions of so-called self-transcendent experiences, which seem to deeply alter the boundaries between the self and the rest of the world. The subjects of these experiences often report feeling extended to the world, united with it, or, conversely, feeling retracted from it, as if they were tiny or insignificant. Sometimes, they report...

A BSTRACT . In both literature and science, descriptions abound of so-called “self-transcendent” experiences, which seem to deeply alter the boundaries between oneself and the rest of the world.

Sometimes, they report...
Sensory Substitution and Augmentation December 13, 2018 Jérôme Dokic
A central issue in the study of sensory substitution devices is whether and to what extent the original source of knowledge about the world that they seem to enable substitutes for ordinary perception. I argue that this issue divides into two sub-issues, which concern respectively the sensory and the affective aspects of the phenomenology of perception. The sensory aspect determines the...

We show that the notion of a sense of presence can be interpreted in two ways, corresponding to the sense that we are acquainted with an object, and the sense that the object is real. In this essay, we focus on the sense of reality. Drawing on several case studies such as derealization disorder,...
Philosophiques October 2, 2002 Jérôme Dokic
Les qualia , considérés comme des propriétés intrinsèques de nos expériences, ne sont pas toujours bien accueillis par les matérialistes, qui préfèrent les considérer comme des propriétés intentionnelles présentées dans l’expérience. Je me demande si cette forme de réductionnisme s’applique aux qualia de la conscience corporelle. Selon la théorie matérialiste standard, l’objet intentionnel de...
