Philosophy of Perception in the Psychologist’s Laboratory
PsyArXiv January 9, 2023 Jorge Morales, Chaz Firestone 1 citation preprint
Perception is our primary means of accessing the external world. What is the nature of this core mental process? Although this question is at the center of scientific research on perception, it has also long been explored by philosophers, who ask fundamental questions about our capacity to perceive: Do our different senses represent the world in commensurable ways? How much of our environment...

The Hard Problem of Consciousness —A Perspective From Holistic Philosophy
PsyArXiv June 24, 2022 preprint
Based on a material view and reductionism, science has achieved great success. These cognitive paradigms treat the external as an objective existence and ignore internal consciousness. However, this cognitive paradigm, which we take for granted, has also led to some dilemmas related to consciousness in biology and physics. Together, these phenomena reveal the interaction and inseparable side of...

The metaphysics of perception: enactivism, phenomenology and information.
PsyArXiv October 6, 2021 David Rose 2 citations preprint
Enactivism is a major research programme in the philosophy of perception. Yet its metaphysical status is unclear, since it is claimed to avoid both idealism and realism yet still has aspects of both within it. One attempt to solve this conundrum is based on the fusion of enactivism with phenomenology and the mathematical concept of symmetry breaking (Moss Brender, 2013). I suggest this is not...

Naturalistic Entheogenics: Précis of Philosophy of Psychedelics
PsyArXiv July 8, 2021 Chris Letheby preprint
In this précis I summarise the main ideas of my book Philosophy of Psychedelics . The book discusses philosophical issues arising from the therapeutic use of classic psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin and LSD. The book is organised around what I call the Comforting Delusion Objection to psychedelic therapy: the concern that this novel and promising treatment relies essentially on the...
Why the Hard Problem of Consciousness will never be solved
PsyArXiv June 8, 2021 preprint
The purpose of this paper is to argue that (1) that the hard problem of consciousness is concerned with subjective experience; (2) subjective experience arises from the measure of absolute quantities directly by our senses; (3) objective experience, on the other hand, arises from the measure of relative quantities which are invariant to perception; (4) only relative quantities can be shared...
The function of consciousness is to generate experience
PsyArXiv May 18, 2021 preprint
Why would we do anything at all if the doing was not doing something to us? In other words: What is consciousness good for? Here, reversing classical views, according to many of which subjective experience is a mere epiphenomenon that affords no functional advantage, we propose that the core function of consciousness is precisely to enable subject-level experience. “What it feels like” is...

Towards a view from within: The contribution of Francisco Varela to the study of consciousness
PsyArXiv April 23, 2021 Renzo Carlo Lanfranco, Andrés Canales-Johnson, Boris Lucero et al. 2 citations preprint
The contents of consciousness are complex and dynamic and are embedded in perception and cognition. The study of consciousness and subjective experience has been central to philosophy for centuries. However, despite its relevance for understanding cognition and behaviour, the empirical study of consciousness is relatively new, embroiled by the seemingly opposing subjective and objective sources...
