Thought can be copied from one person to another. Thought is a pattern. Pattern is more than thought. Patterns are everywhere. Pattern can be copied between nonlife and life. For example, when a person sees a ball, the ball's shape as a pattern can be copied into the person's mind. When the person says the word "ball", the sound "ball" is a pattern copied from the ball in his mind.Currently we...

Several scientific disciplines have attempted to answer questions likeWhat is the meaning of thought? and How do we think? Psychology and Linguistics are some of them. This paper attempts to establish some contributions of Husserlian Phenomenology to Cognitive Linguistics, in relation to the theory of knowledge and meaning, mainly. First, Husserl’s ideas will be reviewed, based on his Logical...

S.2585 is a significant Dunhuang manuscript, providing various types of Buddhist meditative techniques. Some techniques can be traced back to Central Asia and India, although some techniques seem to have been developed later. I argue that the vision of buddhas that accompanies single-minded contemplation of the navel as described in S.2585 may reflect the idea of a “buddha within” denoting the...

This chapter focuses on two broad ways in which Cooley’s work is still intensely alive in the minds and work of researchers and philosophers today. First, in philosophy in the area of consciousness studies and in phenomenological studies in psychology, there has been a growing movement to the effect that accounts of “first person experience,” that is accounts of experience of the form “then I...

The paper aims at elaborating a concept of a person in the light of recent developments in philosophy of mind and psychology, moving from an awareness of the current misfortune of this concept. Firstly, the distinction between personal and subpersonal levels of escription and explanation is examined, also in connection with the discoveries concerning the so-called ‘cognitive unconscious’. Then,...

The Experimental phenomenologis origin is the descriptive psychology introduced by Franz Brentano and promulgated by the “Brentano circle” to the threshold of a new approach in the philosophy of mind and a new approach in empirical psychology. This aspiration became figurative in philosophical phenomenology and literal in Experimental Phenomenology, but the common origin left its mark on both...

The emphasis in ego-psychology on a mystical experience (ME) is for the ego consciousness to enter into a relationship with a new element that has been introduced into the psyche by the experience. For Jung, a ME is subsumed in a larger category of what he calls "numinous experience." The teleology of a numinous experience is that it introduces to the conscious mind the existence of a non-ego...

An experience will be made legitimate when it is accepted by the patient and the analyst as a truly mysterious phenomenon that has occurred. The importance of Jung&s;s formulation to ascribe legitimacy to a numinous experience is to be understood in the relationship of that experience to ego consciousness. There is philosophical debate as to whether a mystical experience is a pure subjective...

Abstract This chapter takes up the links between Dawkins’s concept of the extended phenotype and that of the extended mind. More specifically, it has three aims: (1) it argues that the extended mind effects are a special case of niche construction; (2) it identifies the cognitive foundations that made it possible for hominins to amplify their cognitive powers with material supports; in...
