Traditional mind-body identity theories maintain that consciousness is identical with neural activity. Consider an alternative identity theory – namely, a mind-object identity theory of consciousness (OBJECTBOUND). I suggest to take into consideration whether one’s consciousness might be identical with the external object. The hypothesis is that, when I perceive a yellow banana, the thing that...

This coincides with a heightened focus on the role of spirituality within trauma-related theory (e.g., spiritual coping, meaning-making, and posttraumatic growth). Little remains known, however, about the relationship between trauma and spirituality among people with severe...
본 논문의 목적은 「유식30송」에 나타난 유식사상에 비추어 인성교육의 의미와 방향을 고찰하는 데에 있다. ‘오직 식뿐’이라는 유식의 핵심 사상에 의하면, 눈 앞에 보이는 사물이나 현상은 아뢰야식에 의하여 만들어진 아뢰야식의 표현에 해당된다. 아뢰야식은 과거에 행한 일체의 생각과 말과 행동의 결과로서, 인간의 정신활동에 들어오는 모든 것을 한꺼번에 압축해서 포함하고 있는 총체이다. 그러나 아뢰야식은 제6의식과 제7말나식을 거쳐서 표현되고 실현되는 만큼 왜곡될 가능성이 크다. 이 점으로 인하여 지혜자량과 복덕자량이라는 불교수행이 요청된다. 이상의 요약에 나타난 유식사상에 비추어 볼 때, 인성교육에서 다루어야 할 인성은 아뢰야식과 밀접하게 관련된다고 말할 수 있다. 아뢰야식은 과거에 한 일체의 생각과 말과...

The general mind-body problem is known to be intractable and currently mysterious. This is one of many deep problems that are universally agreed to be beyond the current purview of Science, including quantum...

AE s are defined as those that ‘depart from our own familiar personal experiences or from the more usual, ordinary, and expected experiences of a given culture and...
Freud and Jung are the pillars of the modern scientific study of the mind. Their ideas are based upon diverse sources, ranging from mythic literature to the case studies of their individual patients. The work of those who came later, even when it veered away from that of these two pioneers, still took into account the theories they forged. Today, modern laboratory techniques and equipment have...
