Evidence for psilocybin use in chronic depression is limited, primarily focusing on treatment-resistant cases. While promising results have been noted in studies, more targeted and extensive research is needed.
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 31, 2026 Zen Revista, 10 Philosophy preprint
The mind--body problem asks where the mental belongs in a physical world, and philosophy of mind is the literature of every answer yet proposed. This article presents a narrative review of that literature's primary line. The synthesis is organized around three themes: the dualist settlement and its mid-century collapse, in which Descartes's thinking substance, Ryle's category mistake, and the...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 31, 2026 Zen Revista, 10 Philosophy preprint
This article presents a narrative review of The Hard Problem of Consciousness in the context of Philosophy. The literature on this topic has expanded substantially over recent decades, yet it remains fragmented across subfields, methods, and national research traditions. Drawing on an interpretive synthesis of representative contributions, the review reconstructs the historical development of...

The philosophy of perception---the philosophy whose subject is the seeing mind and whose battleground is the object's givenness---moved from Berkeley's 1709 vision and Reid's 1764 common sense through Helmholtz's 1867 sensations, Russell's 1914 sense-data, and Moore's 1939 hands to Sellars's 1956 myth, Austin's 1962 sensibilia, and McDowell's 1994 world. This article presents a narrative review...

The target population considered in this study were professionals working in Information and Technology sector. A group of 60 people working is IT sector was utilized by using purposive sampling...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 31, 2026 Dan Sfera preprint
The Recursive Differentiation Hypothesis (RDH) proposes that capacities bundled in biological organisms—access control, intelligence, self-modeling, and agency—can be functionally differentiated by cumulative culture and artificial intelligence, then recombined in new architectures. Differentiation is recursive because externalized cognitive products become inherited structure for later systems...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 31, 2026 Zen Revista, 10 Philosophy preprint
This article presents a narrative review of Phenomenology and the First-Person Point of View in the context of Philosophy. The literature on this topic has expanded substantially over recent decades, yet it remains fragmented across subfields, methods, and national research traditions. Drawing on an interpretive synthesis of representative contributions, the review reconstructs the historical...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 Zen Revista, 10 Literature preprint
The modernist novel---Joyce, Woolf, Faulkner above all---rebuilt fiction's architecture around consciousness itself, and its stream-of-consciousness technique remains the century's most consequential narrative invention. This article presents a narrative review of the technique's canonical line: James's late style as preface, Joyce's 1922 Ulysses, Woolf's 1925 Mrs Dalloway and 1927 To the...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 J'maine Steadford preprint
Contemporary artificial intelligence has acquired sophisticated language and abstract reasoning without reproducing the developmental architecture through which biological cognition arose. This paper proposes the Closed-Loop Hypothesis, an architecture-level framework for investigating whether that asymmetry may be relevant to artificial consciousness. The framework begins with the Reverse...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 Zen Revista, 10 Philosophy preprint
The mind-body problem asks how mental phenomena---experience, intention, subjectivity---relate to physical processes, and its modern history runs from Descartes' dualism through identity theory's physicalism to the hard problem's contemporary revival. This article presents a narrative review of the debate's canonical line: Descartes' 1641 Meditations, Ryle's 1949 ghost-in-the-machine critique,...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 Vicent Navarro Maronda preprint
Version 1.0 of the Multiscale Distributed Consciousness Hypothesis (MDCH). This technical note proposes that the scientific detection of higher-order biological information processing may be affected by a mismatch between the temporal and spatial integration scales of a candidate system and the observational scale used by researchers. It distinguishes a directly testable Weak MDCH from a...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 Kimiyasu Igarashi preprint
AbstractDebates about artificial consciousness and AI welfare ask whether an artificial system can feel, deserve protection, possess private interests, or bear responsibility. Each question contains a prior pronoun: whose experience, welfare, history, action, and future? For organisms, body, developmental history, and practical individual usually travel together, letting the body proxy the...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 Zen Revista, 10 Philosophy preprint
This narrative review examines the current state of knowledge regarding Phenomenology and Perception within the broader context of Philosophy. We survey the theoretical foundations, methodological approaches, and key findings that have shaped the field, identifying major themes and tracing the evolution of ideas over time. The review synthesizes evidence from multiple research traditions and...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 Zen Revista, 10 Philosophy preprint
The mind-body problem---how conscious experience relates to the physical brain---remains philosophy's sharpest unsolved boundary question. This article presents a narrative review of the positions that define the debate: Descartes's substance dualism, Ryle's category-mistake critique, the mind-brain identity theory of Smart, Putnam's multiple realizability and functionalism, Davidson's...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 Nadji Belkheiri preprint
This paper presents a theoretical-philosophical inquiry into the ontological status of dream consciousness. Addressing the explanatory gap between neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) and phenomenal experience, it critiques reductive physicalist accounts of dreaming. By utilizing veridical dream reports as limit-case thought experiments and adopting a stratified approach to empirical data,...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 Zen Revista, 10 Philosophy preprint
Phenomenology---the philosophy that describes experience from within---rebuilt European thought around consciousness's structures, and its century runs from Husserl's transcendental turn through Heidegger's being-in-the-world to Merleau-Ponty's embodiment. This article presents a narrative review of that tradition's canonical line: Husserl's 1913 Ideas I and 1931 Cartesian Meditations,...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 Chris P. Winters preprint
Abstract The term consciousness is commonly treated as naming a distinct phenomenon requiring explanation. Yet many of the functions associated with consciousness—including perception, memory, recognition, temporal continuity, emotion, self-monitoring, metacognition, behavioural flexibility, and the revision of ongoing thought—can be decomposed into more specific operations. This paper asks...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 Zen Revista, 10 History preprint
The painted caves are the human record's deepest sanctuaries: Altamira's bison, whose 1880 publication by Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola was twenty years dismissed as forgery; Lascaux's bulls and horses; Chauvet's lions and rhinos, whose 1995 publication and 2001 radiocarbon dates made the cave the art's oldest; the Cueva de las Manos's hands and hunts in Patagonia. This article presents a...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 30, 2026 Pasquale Kaboth preprint
This work introduces the Critical Reconstructability Corridor (CRC) hypothesis, a theoretical, computational, and empirically testable framework for investigating consciousness-relevant neural dynamics beyond the conventional notion of a single “edge of chaos.” The central proposal is that biological dynamics capable of supporting consciousness may occupy a bounded, multidimensional and...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 29, 2026 Sidário Rodrigues Malheiros-junior preprint
This conceptual article isolates an unresolved transition in the cognitive and philosophical study of mortality and afterlife belief. It distinguishes three propositions that are frequently conflated: the desire for more embodied life, the representation of the experiential subject as continuing after biological death, and the assignment of that continuation to a consciousness or agency of...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 29, 2026 Zen Revista, 10 Philosophy preprint
The problem of consciousness occupies a singular position in contemporary philosophy: universally acknowledged as difficult, unresolved in its central question, and productive of a technical literature whose positions are now sharply defined. This review synthesizes the development of the mind-body problem from the mid-twentieth-century critiques of empiricism to the present landscape of...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 29, 2026 Sidário Rodrigues Malheiros-junior preprint
This conceptual article examines a neglected asymmetry in the philosophical-zombie thought experiment. A Chalmersian zombie, being physically and functionally identical to a conscious person, can produce the same verbal questions, reports, and judgments about consciousness. The paper therefore distinguishes three senses of asking: the production of an interrogative token, functional inquiry,...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 28, 2026 Christian Gajewski preprint
This paper introduces epiphanesthesia as a candidate third functional category of interoceptive content, distinct from physiological homeostatic signals and from emotional substrates. Epiphanesthesia is defined by three necessary criteria: the signal indexes structural convergence between previously unintegrated representations rather than affective valence or homeostatic state; it precedes the...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 28, 2026 Marcel Krüger preprint
This conceptual paper examines whether the long-term transition toward interstellar civilization may require not only more capable spacecraft, but a transformation of the traveler itself. Human intelligence emerged in biological organisms adapted to terrestrial conditions. Rather than assuming that this biological form remains fixed indefinitely, the paper explores possible transitions from...
