On 6 January 1973, Chilean media artist Juan Downey exhibited Plato Now at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, New York. A hybrid multichannel video installation and performance, this was Downey’s restaging of Plato’s Parable of the Cave—the “Now” registering what the myth might look like from the vantage of his own historical moment. And whereas Plato’s original operated through an...

Abstract This book is intended to provide an overview of the complex and dispersed history of MDMA, in the hope of making it more intelligible. In respect of the period up until the late 1980s, the book focuses on what was happening in Europe and the United States as other countries were not significant in this timeframe. This book does not describe the history of an illegal drug only as it is...

This chapter lays out in detail the problematic appearances of consciousness requiring explanation. Considerations from pessimists like Chalmers and Joseph Levine are considered, and the chapter distills out the claim that our first-person access seems to put us in direct contact with indescribable, simple properties, properties only contingently connected to the structural, dynamical, and...

At the present time several Yogic practices, meditation, Pranayama, and Mantra, etc. are playing important role in treating physiological and psychological problems. The ancient Indian Yoga text, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, describes six cleansing techniques. The objective of cleansing techniques is to purify and prepare the body for the practice of yoga postures, and meditation. Trataka (Yogic...

Although panpsychism and pantheism were seen as natural allies in the past, in contemporary philosophy it is widely common to stress differences rather than similarities between them. As a result, only few panpsychists (e.g. so-called cosmopsychists) acknowledge that their view may imply pantheism. In my paper, I argue that at least some popular versions of panpsychism do lead to pantheism. My...

The article proposes to introduce and analyze the concept of operational truth, its possibilities and prospects in the context of the paradigms of Western and Eastern philosophy. We define operational truth as one that does not pretend to be a reflection (or another way of representation) of reality, but prompts to the corresponding experience of reality or at least thinking, that is, as one...

Khazanah Theologia June 27, 2023 Daniel A. Helminiak 2 citations
Especially among the Abrahamic religions, quite regularly spirituality implies a relationship with God or else some other supposed “sacred” entities or forces. This starting point precludes a fully psychological explanation of spirituality since appeal to God exceeds the methodology of the social or human sciences: Psychology is not theology. In contrast, a traditional Christian axion holds...

Sir Thomas Browne was a physician, a man of science as well as a mystic and antiquarian exploring the mystery of Creation, God and the nature of human life. Religio Medici or the Religion of a Doctor (1635), reveals a symbiotic relationship between his rational and scientific mind and his religious beliefs. His mystic speculations and meditative reveries are triggered by his scientific study of...

The evolution of the human mind through natural selection mandates that our conscious experiences are causally potent in order to leave a tangible impact upon the surrounding physical world. Any attempt to construct a functional theory of the conscious mind within the framework of classical physics, however, inevitably leads to causally impotent conscious experiences in direct contradiction to...
