In this paper, I propose a collaborative approach to analysing the phenomenal experience of episodic remembering, bringing together contemporary phenomenology of existential feelings with metacognitive approaches to the feeling of pastness. I explore the issue of how existential feelings, through their pre-intentional function, can constitute the intentionality and valence of the epistemic...

The article shows how the extended mind theory, which suggests that cognition is not confined to the brain but extends beyond the body, is used to redefine our understanding of the nature of the mind and legitimize narratives of cyberimmortality. Additionally, it explores how this concept has been considered within the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). By exploring the interactions between...

Religion and spirituality are increasingly associated with mental health, yet spirit-related practices, beliefs and experiences (SPBEs) are regarded with more suspicion. This suspicion is misplaced, and worryingly so, since, I argue, it shuts down a potentially therapeutic avenue in relation to anomalous experiences such as hearing voices and sensing the presence of the dead. A presupposition...

Following an account of signaling games, one can show how meaning emerges and is preserved on the basis of the interactions between individuals and their environments. It is here argued that, as all concepts, a concept of consciousness is formed from a set of signaling games and is assigned a sense, from which its extensional reference can be postulated. It will be helpful to understand the...

This paper addresses the notion of dialectics in the linguistic bodies theory. First, it presents it as a three-aspect concept, namely, the ontological aspect, the methodological aspect, and the dialectical model. Subsequently, it discusses the ontological aspect and the dialectical model and, based on the enactivist linguistic notions of concreteness and abstraction, suggests that it can be...

A zombie world is a possible world in which all the microphysical truths are identical to the truths in our world, but no one is phenomenally conscious. A zombie is an individual in a possible world whose microphysical truths are identical to the microphysical truths of an individual in our world, but who has none of the phenomenal conscious experiences of the individual in our world. An...

Many actors report a form of dual-consciousness when playing roles on stage: they react to the given circumstances as their characters would do, but they do not forget they are on the stage. This paper analyzes the concept of dual-consciousness and argues that actor dual-consciousness results from the actor’s imaginings, which both recreate the experience of the character and inform the actor...

Mental time travel (MTT) is quite a novel label in Philosophy.The notion was set by experimental psychologist and cognitive neuroscientist Endel Tulving in the 1980s and refers to the ability to be aware of subjective past and future events.Tulving's view on memory and consciousness provides an important conceptual distinction founded in experimentally observed data.In this paper I discuss (1)...

This paper aims to show that Paul Ricœur's hermeneutical phenomenology has significance for philosophy of mind, in particular for recent theories of enactivism, one of the most significant latest developments in cognitive theory.While philosophy of mind often finds its inspiration in hermeneutics and phenomenology, especially in Husserl's and Merleau-Ponty's, the later development of...
