"This collection is a much-needed remedy to the confusion about which varieties of enactivism are robust yet viable rejections of traditional representationalism approaches to cognitivism – and which are not. Hutto's paper is the pivot around which the expert commentators, enactivists and non-enactivists alike, sketch out the implications of enactivism for a wide variety of issues: perception,...

In this paper we look at the rational and the emotional interpretation of reality in the human brain and being, and discuss the representation of the brain-mind (ego), the body-mind (Id), and the outer world in the human wholeness (the I or "soul"). Based on this we discuss a number of factors including the coherence between perception, attention and consciousness, and the relation between...

This chapter tries to chart the degree of religiosity at which saturation creeps in and has attritions effects. Quite paradoxically, the subject of inquiry, Huston Smith, an erstwhile practitioner of all religions, literally, and a consequential religious scholar, does not display any trace of exhaustion after reaching an objective point of saturation—he has meditated with Zen masters in Japan,...

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) brain signals are studied using a method for characterizing complex nonlinear dynamics. This approach uses the value of d(infinity) (d-infinite) to characterize the system's asymptotic chaotic behavior. A novel procedure has been developed to extract this parameter from time series when the system's structure and laws are unknown. The implementation of the algorithm...
Pot Politics September 21, 2006 Elliot N. Dorff
Abstract: This chapter approaches the issue of marijuana use from a Jewish perspective. The Torah demands that Jews become “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” The Jewish tradition uses wine to sanctify holidays and marriages; it does not use marijuana for those purposes. Still, Judaism allows Jews to ingest many things that are not intrinsically holy as part of the effort to fulfill the...

Abstract. Two fundamental issues raised by Lothar Schäfer are considered: (1) the question of a suitable paradigm within which the findings of quantum physics can be optimally interpreted and (2) the question of the assessment of the presence and importance of mind and consciousness in the universe. In regard to the former, I contend that the ideal of science is to interpret its findings in an...

In 1792 Dugald Stewart published Elements of the philosophy of the human mind. In its section on abstraction he declared himself to be a nominalist. Although a few scholars have made brief reference to this position, no sustained attention has been given to the central role that it played within Stewart's early philosophy of mind. It is therefore the purpose of this essay to unpack Stewart's...

Jon Kabat-Zinn entwickelte 1979 ein achtwöchiges Trainingsprogramm zur Stressbewältigung durch die Praxis der Achtsamkeit (MBSR - Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) mit acht Gruppensitzungen und einem ganztägigen Schweige-Seminar.
Journal of Psychoactive Drugs September 1, 2006 Arthur Hastings
This research explored whether hypnotic suggestion could produce a subjective mindbody condition similar to that produced by the psychoactive drug methylenedioxy methamphetamine (MDMA, Ecstasy). Twelve participants received posthypnotic instructions to re-experience an MDMA-like state posthypnotically, similar to one in their prior experience, for one hour. Three separate self report measures...
Teachers College Record: The Voice of Scholarship in Education September 1, 2006 H. Roth 12 citations
We have reached a moment in history when it is time to reenvision certain basic aspects of the existing models of teaching and research in higher education in order to foster a deeper knowledge of the nature of our existence as human beings in a world that is intricately interrelated on many levels. This article suggests that one way to accomplish this is to develop a new field of academic...
