This article offers a comparative ontological hermeneutics of being by placing the yogic discipline of prāṇāyāma (breath control) in dialogue with Meister Eckhart’s mystical theology, especially his notions of Abgeschiedenheit (detachment) and Gelassenheit (releasement). Through a trinitarian ontological lens (not the Christian dogma), it argues that both traditions—though rooted in different...

The ontology of consciousness in contemporary debates arises from the tension between the metaphysical paradigm of Islamic philosophy and the physicalist approach in cognitive science, particularly regarding the explanation of qualia, intentionality, and the unity of conscious experience.

Hegel’s philosophy presents self-consciousness, negation, and social recognition as the driving forces of mind’s development and the pinnacle of Spirit’s self-realization.
