The 1990s witnessed a pivotal shift in philosophy of mind and cognitive science with the rise of the 4E approaches: embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended cognition. These frameworks challenged the classical cognitive science paradigm that viewed cognition as internal symbolic computation confined to the brain. Instead, 4E cognition conceives mental processes as distributed across brain,...

Can situated perspectives on mind and cognition also account for individual agency and freedom? During the last 15 years, several notions of situated agency have been developed in 4E approaches as varied as enactivism, ecological psychology, and phenomenology. These approaches convincingly show how agential capacities can be naturalistically explained on the basis of principles of 4E cognition....
Biolinguistics December 9, 2025 Bernd Bierl 2 citations
This article proposes a theoretical framework for a Bio-Ethological 4E Linguistics that integrates ethology, biolinguistics, and embodied cognition within a single biological continuum. It argues that the persistent division between linguistic internalism and behavioral biology has produced two incomplete naturalisms—one mental without life, the other biological without mind. By aligning...

Background: As the use of psychedelics increases in both therapeutic and non-clinical settings, reports of extended post-experience difficulties have also emerged.

Mindfulness techniques are taken up by medical researchers and applied in therapeutic programs for mental health. Also, mindfulness contributes to improve the quality of medical communication, to developing the skills of...
Kanz Philosophia : A Journal for Islamic Philosophy and Mysticism December 8, 2025 Müfit Selim Saruhan 1 citation
This article undertakes a comparative study of Ibn Sīnā and Ibn Rushd’s conceptions of the soul through the framework of Aristotle’s four causes: material, formal, efficient, and final. Both thinkers draw deeply from Aristotelian psychology, yet their approaches diverge due to different metaphysical and theological commitments. Ibn Sīnā, shaped by Neoplatonic currents, presents the soul as an...

BACKGROUND: This study investigated pāramīs-based inner strengths and mental health outcomes among elderly Thai Buddhist meditators, with a particular focus on the combined effects of strict ethical adherence to the Five Precepts (abstaining from killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, and intoxicants) and varying level of death contemplation practice because this combination is a hallmark...

Psilocybin, psilocin and the associated tryptamines are psychoactive alkaloids which are naturally biosynthesised by Psilocybe (Fr.) P.Kumm. fungi, commonly referred to as magic mushrooms. These psychoactive fungi were used traditionally in healing rituals, and are now being studied in clinical studies to investigate their benefits as a treatment for a number of mental health disorders. Since...

Abstract In the Buddhist conceptualization of tanhā (a form of craving), it is seen as the main reason for suffering, the undermining of morals, and instability in existence. The goal of tanhā-nirodha (the cessation of craving) is Buddhist soteriology, but the goal is not limited to monastic practices and touches on many aspects of modern ethics, psychology, and social issues. In this paper,...
Psikiyatride Guncel Yaklasimlar - Current Approaches in Psychiatry December 6, 2025 Mustafa Danışman
According to Freud, the human mind is characterised by a dynamic component, which he refers to as the “censoring agency”. This concept is also perceived by some to symbolise a certain authority. This agency is responsible for determining whether an emerging desire is suitable for entry into consciousness. It excludes anything that could potentially cause discomfort if the desire were to be...
