A partir do conceito de Corpo sem Órgão criado por Guattari e Deleuze em “Mil Platôs”, e em interação com “As Três Ecologias” de Guattari, o autor coloca o devir-vazio de inspiração budista como condição de surgimento dos outros devires, numa lógica de dessubjetivação inspirada em Simondon.

Abstract Despite the obvious influence of Tibetan Buddhism upon the religious landscape of Mongolia, Mongolian Buddhism is not simply Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia, just as Tibetan Buddhism is not simply Indian Buddhism in Tibet. Previous scholarship on the ritual manuals that engage Mongolia’s local deities has tended to consider these rituals as instances of the corruption of Buddhism by...

Abstract Neuroscientific evidence interprets both hypnotic trance induction and different meditation traditions as modified states of consciousness that emphasize attention, concentration and the letting go of thoughts, but they differ in terms of sensory input, processing, memory, and the sense of time.

The term “mystical experience” enjoys a great variety of meanings, retaining some of that variety among philosophers. There is no choice but to stipulate meaning for the purposes of this article. A wide definition of “mystical experience” will be...

We make the latter argument using the example of...
