The theory of space perception presented in The Principles of Psychology is one of the most coherent and developed arguments of that important book. Space perception was of great significance for James as a test case for his doctrine of psychophysiological unity (to be much more provocatively developed in his account of the stream of consciousness and of the emotions). James considered himself...

This paper introduces a unified framework for the philosophy of perception that systematically integrates bottom-up sensory constraints with top-down cognitive processes. By establishing a shared structural architecture for all subjective experiences, the present framework demonstrates how genuine perceptions, illusions, and hallucinations can be derived from the same underlying mechanism....

This paper offers a contemporary reinterpretation of Plotinus’s doctrine of emanation by translating the metaphysical sequence One → Nous → Psyche into an ontological–phenomenological account of human experience. The Plotinean One is refigured as the Ontological Now: the immediate, objective presence of reality as experienced under maximal present-constraint, with minimal conceptual and...

ABSTRACTObjective: Autogenic Training (AT) is a well-established psychophysiological method used in medicine and clinical psychology for stress reduction and emotional regulation.

Abstract This paper investigates whether the concept of “phenomenal consciousness” is an integral component of ordinary folk psychology or a theoretical construct devised within a specific epistemic community. Advocates of what I term the Folk- “Consciousness” Thesis argue that laypeople already possess such a concept, citing experimental findings in support of this view. In contrast, I draw on...

Structured practices in ritual and contemplative settings often claim reliable change through formal protocols, disciplined attention, prior alignment, and staged calibration. Debate commonly polarizes between extraordinary causation and generic expectancy accounts. This paper offers a third option: a methodological framework that treats such practices as informational interventions acting on...

The classical problem of Other Minds has dogged philosophers for millennia; asking if we have any way to truly understand the experience of another mind. We know our own intrinsic experience by acquaintance, but can only ever hope to possess an extrinsic description of another's, with the two separated by an acquaintance gap. Structural approaches aim to characterise experience in terms of a...

Abstract This chapter gathers the movement of the entire book, from outer crisis to inner perception and from perception to action grounded in wholeness. It affirms that awareness itself is transformation; no external reform can substitute for seeing. This chapter revisits key relationships, self and other, human and nature, teacher and student, citizen and state, showing how they renew when...
