Today's quick development of artificial intelligence (AI) brings us to the questions that have until recently been the domain of philosophy or even sciencefiction. When can be a system considered an intelligent one? What is a consciousness and where it comes from? Can systems gain consciousness? It is necessary to have in mind, that although the development seems to be a revolutionary one, the...

This paper foregrounds the effective use of the theme of silence in the two Indian literary masterpieces viz. Tagore’s Gitanjali and Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri. Firstly, it makes a critical discussion on the philosophical notions of silence quoting Kierkegaard as he says it is essentially a spiritual state that helps establishing relationship between God and human being. Then, the Hindu...

The body and mind are instruments that, through the senses, provide a gateway to conscious experience. One could reduce the totality of human existence to the body and mind alone, yet superficial appearances can be misleading. According to the yogic system, humans are comprised progressively subtle sheaths or koshas, ranging from the physical to the mind, energy, intellect, and bliss body....

Human brain organoids, aka cerebral organoids or earlier "mini-brains", are 3D cellular models that recapitulate aspects of the developing human brain. They show tremendous promise for advancing our understanding of neurodevelopment and neurological disorders. However, the unprecedented ability to model human brain development and function in vitro also raises complex ethical, legal, and social...

The Intelligent Principle of the Universe is a beginningless and endless entity considered a fundamental property of the universe. It is in the energetic intimacy of the Psychosoma, its unquestionable “morphogenetic field” that the cells are aggregated to finally model your future physical body. On the other hand, the mind, seat of Consciousness is, therefore, the non-material brain of...

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,...
