The subject of the study is the ontological foundations for distinguishing between machine consciousness and the functional imitation of conscious activity in modern artificial intelligence systems. The analysis focuses on differentiating between functional intelligence, artificial agency, and the possible subjective existence of an artificial system. The study examines whether the reproduction...
The subject of the study is the philosophical critique of the computational model of the mind in the context of post-nonclassical types of scientific rationality. The author examines in detail such aspects of the topic as Hubert Dreyfus's phenomenological critique of artificial intelligence and John Searle's analytical critique. Special attention is paid to the ontological foundations of human...
The article is dedicated to the problem of sustainable coexistence between humans and subject-oriented artificial intelligence – a system possessing the ability for endogenous, internally generated impulse, not reducible to the execution of external commands. It delineates the concepts of consciousness, self-consciousness, and subjectivity, demonstrating that the true existential threat to...
This article analyzes intersubjectivity as a constitutive property of embodied consciousness, the biological substrate of which is formed by mechanisms of shared (common) action, as brain systems (in particular, the mirror neuron system) provide a common neural code for the perception and execution of actions. The author assumes a fundamental, constitutive relationship between the ideas of...
The article "Quanta of Consciousness: The Physical Mystery of David Chalmers and the Ontological Process of Gilbert Simondon" is dedicated to a critical comparison of two fundamentally different philosophical strategies for utilizing concepts related to quantum mechanics in the understanding of consciousness. The focus is on analyzing how Chalmers invokes literal quantum processes (for example,...
The subject of the study is phenomenological neuroplasticity, considered as a key biological mechanism that ensures the emergence and development of consciousness. The object of the research is the process of forming subjective phenomenal experience, realized through the dynamic restructuring of neural networks in the brain. Special attention is given to the evolutionary role of...
The article examines the "Berkeleyan" approach to solving the psychophysical problem, according to which the only true reality is consciousness, and the entire perceived world, including the body and brain, exists only as subjective images within it. The author proposes a modified version of Berkeleyanism that avoids solipsism by introducing a transindividual sphere of consciousness—shared by...
The subject of this study is the methodological approach used by Aldous Huxley to study religious experience and mystical experiences. The article pays special attention to the theoretical origins of this methodology, as well as the social and cultural context of its formation. The article examines how science, philosophy, and religion of that time contributed to the formulation of Aldous...
The subject of the study is the relationship between philosophical anthropologists, who deal with the nature and essence of man, and neurosciences, who study neural processes - the work of the brain and nervous system. In particular, the present article is a discovery of how these two fields can shed light on issues related to detection and artificial intelligence, such as the nature of...
The subject of the research is the approach of analytical psychology to understanding the content and meaning of mystical experience represented by religious and esoteric traditions. The purpose of the presented article is to reveal the content, directions and results of the conceptualization of religious-mystical experience within the framework of the psychological theory of religion...
The subject of this research is the approach of S. L. Frank towards the study of the religious-mystical experience of Christianity based on the conceptual matrix of "wise ignorance" and phenomenological method, which underlies the metaphysical system in his philosophy of religion. The authors examine in the specificity of philosophical mysticism of S. L. Frank and points of its intersection...
Dalai Lama notes that the Buddhist system of the objects of the realm largely coincides with such developed by Karl Popper. The subject of this article is ontology of the three worlds. The goal lies in analysis of the components of this ontology, demonstration of its prospects and advantages over dualism. First come matter or physical objects; second come mind, subjective reality; third come...
The subject of this research is D. Chalmers’ argument in explanation of the phenomenal consciousness –sentience or qualia – explanation on the basis of dualism of the low-level physical and high-level mental propertoes of the brain. The dualism of properties in the philosophy of consciousness means that consciousness is a high-level property, supervenient on the physical properties of the...
The subject of this research is the method of phenomenological reduction developed by E. Husserl. The article examines the difficulties faced by this method, as well as observes the reception of Husserl’s ideas by the adherents of phenomenology in the XX century. It is substantiated that the phenomenological reduction is unrealizable by theoretical means due to impossibility to comply in the...
This article examines the phenomenon of spontaneity of consciousness from the perspective of Dzogchen philosophy – one of the doctrines of Tibetan Buddhism. It views spontaneity as the initial and intrinsic, but at the same time latent quality of human consciousness. Liberation in Dzogchen, first and foremost, is related to person’s achievement of spontaneous state. It becomes possible through...
