Key points Fink argues that "Bewusstseinskultur" should be understood as an ethical framework for evaluating and shaping conscious states, centered on the phenomenal value of subjective experience rather than on the functional role of consciousness. The commentary contends that this perspective has implications for how we assess practices such as meditation, neuroenhancement, and the pursuit of transformative experiences.
