This chapter examines the philosophy of mind in relation to psychosis. It begins by re-appraising the work of Karl Jaspers. Jaspers has been taken as an apologist for biological psychiatry. However, this is ironic, as Jaspers was, as an existential philosopher, interested in the personal experience of psychosis. His account of the phenomenology of psychosis is reappraised. The philosophical...

Phenomenology as a philosophy and a method of inquiry is not limited to an approach to knowing, it is rather an intellectual engagement in interpretations and meaning making that is used to understand the lived world of human beings at a conscious level. Historically, Husserl’ (1913/1962) perspective of phenomenology is a science of understanding human beings at a deeper level by gazing at the...

François Kahn describes and analyzes the use and quality of silence in his practices, particularly in the contiguity between paratheatre and theatre, in the projects L'Atelier, in Volterra (Italy) and Caminhos do Silêncio in...

In this article, I develop a critical point of view about the expansion of meditation techniques in the West. Based on this, I present performative arts as a field of contemporary culture in which the dialogue with contemplative traditions can be deepened. Finally, I consider contemplation as a mode of perception that can be cultivated, exploring its potential in the art of the actor.

The text discusses performance art as a spiritual practice, considering the interweaving of ethics, aesthetics, spirituality and politics.

For example, claims about the value of life for those in Permanent Vegetative State (PVS); debates about treatment and study of disorders of consciousness; controversies about end-of-life care for those with advanced dementia; and arguments...

In Chapter 7 we introduce the multiple dimensions of a formal A.C.T.

We also introduce the concept that meditation practice...
