This article examines the phenomenology of al-Hallaj’s ma‘rifat through an interpretation of the phrase “Anā al-Ḥaqq” in the context of the contemporary spiritual crisis. The main research questions include: how al-Hallaj’s ma‘rifat is understood as a transformation of mystical consciousness, how “Anā al-Ḥaqq” is interpreted phenomenologically, and how this experience is relevant in addressing...

The Inventory of Psychotic-Like Anomalous Self-Experiences (IPASE) was developed as an easy-to-use, self-report measure of self-disorders. Self-disorders are subtle, trait-like, non-psychotic anomalous self-experiences that are traditionally assessed by trained raters using a semi-structured clinical interview, such as the Examination of Anomalous Self-Experience (EASE). Whether self-disorders...

Distinguishing substance-induced psychotic disorders (SIPD) from primary psychotic disorders with concurrent substance use remains a critical diagnostic challenge for treatment planning and prognostic counseling. To systematically review the clinical phenomenology of SIPD, identify distinguishing symptom patterns, and examine relationships between phenomenology and outcomes. A systematic search...

This essay examines the ontological limits of algorithmic mediation in the constitution of contemporary subjectivity. Drawing on the critiques of Han (2015, 2022), Zuboff (2019), and Turkle (2011), and grounded in the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty (1945) and the enactivism of Di Paolo (2005) and Fuchs and De Jaegher (2009), the central argument holds that technical hyperconnectivity...

Spontaneous thoughts constitute most of everyday inner experience, yet long-standing methodological challenges obscure a thorough exploration of their content and neurophysiological underpinnings. Traditional approaches relying on thought probes impose strict constraints on phenomenological reports, whereas online verbal reports disrupt the natural flow of experience while interfering neural...

Abstract Longstanding philosophical debates about the nature of perception revolve around a clash between Direct Realist and Indirect Realist conceptions of vision. These deny and affirm, respectively, that vision involves awareness of mental images which represent the physical objects of sight. The assumption that ‘the’ common-sense conception of vision is Direct Realist shapes these debates....

Abstract Radical Enactive Cognition challenges teleosemantic representationalism while proposing a naturalistic, content-free account of basic intentionality – “Ur-intentionality” – based solely on teleofunctional resources such as information-as-covariance and natural selection, a view known as Teleosemiotics. This paper argues that this appropriation is insufficient to ground content-free...

Contemplative traditions often celebrate experiences of “pure” or non-dual awareness as insights into an ultimate reality beyond conceptual grasp. This paper offers a grounded alternative: such Bare Awareness or minimal-dual experiences are best understood not as ineffable metaphysical revelations, but as contingent phenomena constrained by procedural access (skills and practices) and...

This study aims to explore the neurophysiological mechanisms of the "awakening" state, defined as a shift in consciousness from Default Mode Network dominance to second-order observation. Based on neurophenomenological theory, we hypothesize that awakening manifests physiologically as DMN inhibition, increased cortical excitability, and high energy efficiency. Clinical EEG data from a subject...

This article challenges the representation of consciousness as a continuous flow and proposes, instead, that it be understood as an intermittent manifestation: an emergent phenomenon articulated in pulses under specific neurobiological, narrative, and social conditions. Drawing on physics and mathematics, it questions the reification of the continuum as an unquestioned ontological horizon;...

This paper develops the final movement of a seven-paper philosophical inquiry into the disclosure of being and the world. Where the preceding papers examined the five domains—persons, things and artifacts, nature, the self, and the encompassing whole—as distinct yet related structures of disclosure, the present paper asks how they operate together in lived experience and what happens when their...

Contemporary accounts of mystical “non-dual” or minimal-dual consciousness often describe a state beyond the ordinary subject–object framework. In this paper we propose a novel parametric introspection framework, according to which such a breakthrough is not achieved by doctrinal affirmation or mere insight into metaphysics, but by driving specific introspective parameters to critical values....

Depersonalization (DP) and derealization (DR) are phenomena involving alterations in sense of self and lifeworld. These phenomena often co-occur in psychosis, suggesting dimensional psychopathology and complex phenomenological alterations in consciousness, embodiment, and meaning-making. The primary aim of this study was to examine phenomenological associations, dynamics, and diagnostic...

The feeling of being alive points to an intricate connection between the organic process of life and foundational subjective experience, or between life and experience ( Leben and Erleben ). Based on this premise, I argue that self-experience cannot be understood as an internal mental space or a “self-model” that could be produced and localized in the brain, but rather that it is a...

This article takes its point of departure from the second (embodied) linguistic turn represented by the enactivist notion of humans as linguistic bodies, using resources from Hans Georg Gadamer in order to propose a view of the relation between art and everyday experience as one of symbolic transformation. Conceiving art as a form of linguistic phenomenon wherein one can engage in original...

Poor insight is a core feature of schizophrenia and empirical studies have demonstrated associations with important symptom domains, cognitive functions, and clinical outcomes. While recent explanatory accounts mostly focus on neuro-, social-, or meta-cognitive deficits, a complementary model from phenomenological psychopathology suggests that impaired insight in schizophrenia is tied to...

Contemporary phenomenological psychopathology has raised questions concerning selfhood and its possible alterations in schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Although the notion of the self is central to several accounts of anomalies, it remains a question how exactly the radically minimal experiential features of selfhood can be altered. Indeed, the risk is to reduce the notion of selfhood so...
