Journal of Analytical Psychology August 8, 2023 John Beebe, Stefano Carpani
This written exchange is between a senior and a younger Jungian analyst on issues relevant to the development of analytical psychology throughout the world today. The younger analyst, Stefano Carpani, considers himself a neo-Jungian. He explains to John Beebe, known for post-Jungian contributions to the study of typology, integrity, and gender, how important it is to include sociological...

In this text, I intend to present one of Cavendish’s arguments for the thesis that nature, or all individuals that make up nature, have mental properties. Cavendish offered many arguments to show that matter has the capacity to think, but her central argument for the position is drawn from an observation that, for her, is evident and unquestionable: bodies, or the parts of matter that make up...

This essay demonstrates the fruitfulness of applying a lens based on 4E-inspired cognitive narratology to David Almond’s My Name is Mina (2010) in order to illuminate how the so-called cognitive-affective imbalance between children and adults needs reassessing, especially when it comes to memory. Merging recent developments in 4E – or embodied, embedded, extended, and enactive – approaches to...

The modern scientific world view was built on the incommensurability between cognition (mind) and physics (matter) and later life and physics (the autonomy of biology). Fuelled by Boltzmann's view of the second law of thermodynamics as a 'law of disorder', the idea of 'two opposing rivers', the river of physics 'flowing down' to disorder and the river of life and mind 'flowing up' to higher...

Objectives: Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) can reduce chronic stress, but their therapeutic mechanisms remain unclear. MBIs may train attention monitoring and acceptance skills that have been impaired by chronic stress exposure, and the interaction between these skills might lead to chronic stress reduction. In the present study, we aimed at directly replicating one of the few existing...
Anthropology of Consciousness August 3, 2023 Melinda Kiefer Santiago
My multidisciplinary art practice which includes collages, paintings, and sculptures (Figures 1-8) aim to illustrate the porous boundary of oneself with the living world. Materials range from paint to objects found in the woods alongside post-consumer detritus and photography. Through photograph collage and assemblage, I juxtapose perspectives to challenge the narrative of a singular identity...
The Journal of Theological Studies August 3, 2023 Mary Morrissey
In Experiencing God in Late Medieval and Early Modern England, David Davis considers discourses of divine revelation, and he includes in that term a variety of phenomena that late medieval and early modern English men and women reported as giving them a sense of direct connection with God. He considers accounts of mystics’ experiences from before and after the Reformation, devotional literature...
Mindfulness August 3, 2023 Paul Gilbert, William van Gordon 49 citations
Abstract The editors to this volume posed a series of fascinating questions relating to how seeing compassion as a skill can help us understand its nature, cultivation and effects within secular contexts. This paper addresses these questions by comparing evolutionary with contemplative approaches to compassion. Recent scientific approaches have explored the evolved roots and biopsychosocial...
Journal of Indian Philosophy August 3, 2023 Daisy S. Y. Cheung
The eleventh-century Indian Buddhist master Ratnākaraśānti presents a unique Yogācāra interpretation of tantric maṇḍala visualisation in the *Guhyasamājamaṇḍalavidhiṭīkā. In this text, he employs the neither-one-nor-many argument to assert that the qualities of the mind represented by the deities in the maṇḍala are neither the same nor different from the mind itself. He also provides five...

Questions about subjectivity – about the soul or spirit – did not seriously arise until the start of the twentieth century. At that time behaviourist psychologists suddenly ruled that consciousness must be banished from academic consideration altogether because it was unscientific. They campaigned vigorously to solve the mind–body problem by removing the mind. Thomas Nagel’s proposal calls in...
