This article proposes a reflection on listening as a practice of decolonizing the body and thought. Drawing from a near-death experience in which sound and vibration manifested as the final forms of consciousness, the study investigates listening not merely as a perceptual act, but as a mode of existence, a way of relating to the world that transcends the dichotomy between body and mind,...

The revelation thesis, namely the claim that introspection or phenomenal concepts reveal the full essence of conscious states, has recently become a central topic in the philosophy of mind. On the one hand, many argue that the plausibility of anti‐physicalist arguments (such as conceivability arguments) depends on it. On the other hand, the revival of panpsychism has also invoked the revelation...

The specificity of Indian epistemic culture is the inclusion of mystical intuition among cognitive abilities, and the absence of the concept of reason as the highest cognitive ability. In Indian traditional religio-philosophical texts intuition, often referred to as mystical experience, was used by default. In the philosophical works of Aurobindo Ghosh (1872–1950), its epistemological status is...

In Sciencefact perspective, the brain is not the origin or seat of consciousness, but rather the place where the effects of consciousness and awareness manifest. Given that T-Consciousness Fields can be tested practically, it is possible to design experiments to study the interaction between the brain and these non-physical fields. Unlike other mind-body influence methods, where individuals...

Intentionality, understood as the capacity of systems to be “about” something, remains a central issue in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science. Classical approaches face significant limitations, especially when applied to artificial systems. Representationalism struggles with the symbol grounding problem, functionalism reduces intentionality to causal roles, and enactivism restricts it...
