This paper aims to show that Paul Ricœur's hermeneutical phenomenology has significance for philosophy of mind, in particular for recent theories of enactivism, one of the most significant latest developments in cognitive theory.While philosophy of mind often finds its inspiration in hermeneutics and phenomenology, especially in Husserl's and Merleau-Ponty's, the later development of...

A key concern philosophically today is how to square our common sense understanding of ourselves as intentional, conscious agents with a naturalist view of the cosmos, according to which the cosmos is non-teleological, non-purposive, and consisting of mind-less processes. One strategy has been for naturalists to deny the common sense understanding of ourselves. In this essay, the reality of...

This article presents a new interpretation of the consciousness-related neuroscientific findings using the framework of stochastic electrodynamics (SED), a branch of physics that sheds light on the basic principles underlying quantum systems. It is propounded that SED supplemented by two well-founded hypotheses leads to a satisfying explanation of the neural correlates of consciousness. The...

As an anthropologist, Felicitas Goodman examined the effect of what she believed to be the ritual body postures of shamans, both current and ancient, and found that they gave direction to their shamanic journeying. This research of Goodman and now James Honeycutt opens a new door, a new tool that can be an important addition to the tools of psychotherapy. In her research of ecstatic trance,...
