Abstract Chapter 7 shifts from realism and knowledge to mind, arguing that stage-sensitive reasoning both clarifies and reshapes the problem of consciousness and undermines Colin McGinn’s influential pessimism about its ultimate tractability. It proposes a “separative” approach, according to which the traditional problem is best understood as a bundle of distinct questions, only some of which...

Abstract This chapter clears the ground for subsequent discussion of consciousness and sentience in AIs by addressing two methodological issues pertaining to the study of consciousness. First, it considers whether the study of consciousness presents specially intractable metaphysical difficulties, focusing on arguments against physicalism from the possibility of phenomenal zombies and the...

This article argues that human cognition is more than the performance of functions such as memory, decision-making, and attention. The brain also builds schematic models of those cognitive functions and uses those models to monitor, predict, and partially control them. When you introspect, your understanding of who you are and what is happening inside of you is derived from those schematic,...

People change and transform psychologically all the time. But what exactly changes? This inquiry is too vast to address. It is plausible to claim all intrapsychic changes in the human mind fall into one or a combination of these three: Cognition, Emotion, and Perception, plus in the realms of Conscious and Unconscious. Behavior is excluded because this study focuses on inner experiences rather...

Social appearance anxiety may be associated with greater vulnerability to social media addiction, whereas mindful awareness may be linked to lower levels of this risk.

Abstract This chapter considers philosophy of mind. It considers the significance of this book’s thesis for philosophy of mind. It focuses initially on the ‘mark of the mental’, the attempt to identifying the core feature of ‘mental’ phenomena, and the ‘mind–body problem’. It then aims to draw out some subtly dualistic assumptions that shape some areas of philosophy of mind, where explanations...

Competitive pressure brings athletes into contact with uncertainty, intense bodily arousal, evaluative threat, and concerns about identity and purpose. This critical integrative narrative review examines whether experiences described as transcendence, situation-specific religious coping, and spiritual intelligence contribute to cognitive regulation in sport. The synthesis connects sport-focused...

Christopher Peacocke proposed that a concept is individuated by the conditions a subject must meet to possess it, bringing the philosophy of concepts closer to cognition, but he left unexplained how those conditions arise. This article aims to propose, from the standpoint of Cognitive Psychiatry, a genetic and communicational theory of conceptualization that completes Peacocke’s theory of...
