Reproductive well-being is influenced not only by physiological factors but also by psychological conditions such as stress and emotional imbalance. Mind–body therapy has emerged as a complementary approach that may enhance psychological regulation and overall well-being. This study aimed to examine the effect of mind–body therapy–based complementary midwifery care on reproductive well-being...
This chapter functions as a comparative review designed to orient readers—both within and outside philosophy—to the conceptual vocabulary necessary for the model developed in this book. It introduces and clarifies terms such as perception, identity, individuality, Emotion, Logic, Reason, and intentionality by situating them within the established discourse of the philosophy of mind. The chapter...
Abstract Jaina concern with epistemological issues has two main functions: (i) provide basis for an intelligible discourse on matters of common, everyday experience; (ii) demarcate this area from what constitutes the knowledge of the ‘ultimates’ of reality. In other words, what is it that we know, and how do we know what we believe we have come to know? These are, of course, standard...
This preprint constitutes Phase III of the Rethinking Mind research project, a historical and conceptual investigation of changing approaches to mind, cognition, and intelligence. The paper reconstructs the development of phenomenology from Edmund Husserl through Martin Heidegger to Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It argues that phenomenology expanded the appropriate unit of analysis for understanding...
Holistic Emergence presents a structural dual‑aspect ontology in which biological organization actualizes the internal, proto‑phenomenal potential inherent in physical structure. The model rejects reductive physicalism, universal panpsychism, and functionalist accounts of mind. Instead, it proposes that phenomenality is neither ubiquitous nor reducible but emerges holistically when a physical...
Abstract The scholarly, legal, and regulatory discourse on deliberately altered states of consciousness lacks a neutral vocabulary: its inherited terms — hallucinogen, psychedelic, entheogen — each embed a verdict on the nature of the states they name, forcing a position before argument begins. This essay proposes two process-oriented terms to close the gap. Noopoietics (from νοῦς and ποίησις)...
THE LAST U-TURN is Book Five and the closing volume of The Architect's Protocol. It brings the series from truth, power, morality and metaphysical authorship to the human being in the machine age. Its central question is not whether artificial intelligence will become more capable. It is whether growing capability will be mistaken for consciousness, personhood, moral authority or a licence to...
Workplace stress has emerged as a significant occupational health concern, particularly among corporate women who experience dual pressures of professional responsibilities and personal roles. In metropolitan regions such as Delhi NCR, long working hours, sedentary lifestyles, performance expectations, and work–life imbalance contribute substantially to psychological stress and reduced...

Psychological science is often hampered by the fact that mind and behavior are exceedingly complex subjects. There are many moving parts, and many interactions between these, which elicits a categorical shift in the nature of its variables. This demands a strong theoretic and meta-theoretic foundation to order and interpret results. Yet, especially the meta-theoretic foundation has been unduly...
