We present a mixed-methods study, from an anthropological perspective, of 22 healthy voice-hearers ie, people who report hearing voices but have no need for clinical care. They were interviewed using the Varieties Of Individual Voice-Experiences Scale (VOICES), a new scale assessing phenomenology, beliefs and relationships with voices, and their emotional and behavioral impact. Despite in many...

摘要： 当今时代, 人类正处于科学技术试图催生新文明的前夜。互联网、计算机和智能手机等科技将人类的认知能力延伸到机器之中, 甚至改变了人类的情感和意识体验, 使得人们逐渐接受“心理生活并不局限于脑”这样一种信念。这引发了人们对“延展心智”问题的关注。延展心智曾经主张, 记忆、思维、情绪和情感等心理过程并非局限于有机体的脑或中枢神经系统。相反, 在某些条件下, 有机体非神经部分的身体、身体之外的环境和世界都是实现心智的有效成分, 发挥了构成性的功用。早期的延展心智研究集中于认知过程的探讨, 经历了三波浪潮; 后来又扩展到延展情感, 探讨了情绪和情感的延展属性。近期, 意识体验是否可延展引发了人们的关注。如果认知、情感和意识体验都可超越个体的生物疆界, 包含实现心智过程的外部资源, 那么, 心理生活可能就不再囿于头颅和皮肤, 脑也并非实现心理生活的唯一器官。实际上,...

Naturalizing phenomenology or phenomenologizing neurosciences? This is the provocative and stimulating question that Gallese asks himself/us (taken from Enciclopedia Treccani, 2009) to try to better understand the explanatory significance of the mirror mechanism. The attempt to make neurosciences and phenomenology interact originally took shape as a project for the naturalization of...

Recent years have seen an upsurge of interest in the second-person perspective, not only in philosophy of mind, language, law and ethics, but also in various empirical disciplines such as cognitive neuroscience and developmental psychology. A distinctive and perhaps also slightly puzzling feature of this ongoing discussion is that whereas many contributors insist that a proper consideration of...

An unbiased metaphysics of consciousness allows us to put forward a thesis that consciousness is not an object, but a fundamental problem of modern philosophy and different solutions of this problem define the history of European philosophy. For Descartes, consciousness is Cogito, the personalization of substance by the mind acting in a variety of cogital, conscious acts. Kant, for whom...

The importance of bringing together perspectives in cognitive science and phenomenology cannot be overemphasized. Cognition as enacted, that is to say, as embodied action, is about the interdependence of world and mind. It is a mutuality of dependence made evident in the relations between mind and world, involving interaction or embodied action. Hence cognition as embodied action seems to be a...

This article addresses the question of whether psychodrama can be viewed as an example of the extended mind thesis and can be applied in an educational context. The extended mind thesis (Clark & Chalmers, 1998) proposes that external artifacts can function as integral components of an individual's cognitive system, augmenting cognitive abilities. The article explores the notion that...
