In recent years, Sri Aurobindo—a twentieth-century Indian thinker and visionary—has attracted renewed interest across diverse fields, including spirituality, nationalism, aesthetics and the philosophy of mind. Among his many contributions, it is his metaphysical and spiritual vision, particularly articulated in The Life Divine , that continues to inspire deep engagement. Building briefly on...
Dissociation occupies a paradoxical position within psychology: widely recognised in clinical practice yet persistently marginal in theoretical discourse. This paper argues that dissociation is not merely a pathological anomaly but a phenomenon that exposes the fragility of psychology’s foundational assumptions. Through a historical analysis of the intellectual divergence between Pierre Janet’s...
Dreams have always offered a mysterious look into the human mind, inspiring both curiosity and research. This study presents a computational approach to interpreting dream narratives by combining artificial intelligence with classical psychoanalytic concepts proposed by Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. Using natural language processing techniques, the system analyses written dream reports to...

In this paper, I investigate whether metacognition — the ability to monitor, evaluate, and regulate one’s own cognitive processes and performance — can arise in non-biological systems, especially Large Language Models (LLMs). Drawing on cognitive science and philosophy of mind, I contrast embodied and enactivist accounts, which tie metacognition to biological consciousness and embodied...
Travel has long been romanticized as a transformative trip leading to personal discovery and psychological healing. Travel literature and films such as Eat, Pray, Love tend to portray travel as an escape from interior conflict, promising a fundamental and enduring transformation. These are oversimplifications of the multidimensionality of mental health, with unrealistic expectations being...
Le présent article, issu d’une table ronde tenue lors des Rencontres de l’IMIC en octobre 2025, explore la neuro-phénoménologie, une approche articulant l’expérience subjective (première personne) et les mesures objectives issues des neurosciences (troisième personne). Elle vise à relier les vécus à leurs corrélats cérébraux en hypnose et en méditation. À l’issue de ces échanges retranscrits...
ABSTRACT Adam Toon’s Mind as Metaphor ends with an epilogue on the ghost in the machine. For Toon, the story of the mind is a ghost story told for good reason.
