What I Am and What I Am Not: Destruktion of the Mind–Body Problem

Philosophies December 22, 2023 Javier A. Galadí

The German word destruktion is used here in the sense that philosophy should destroy some ontological concepts and the everyday meanings of certain words. Tradition allows the transmission of knowledge, but it can perpetuate certain prejudices. According to Heidegger, tradition transmits, but it also conceals. Tradition induces self-evidence and prevents us from accessing the origin of...

Transformation of the Concept of Soul to the Concept of Consciousness in the Context of Philosophy of Mind

Mütefekkir December 15, 2023 Hüseyin Adem Tülüce

Bilinç, modern zamanların en temel ve zor problemleri arasında yer alır. Bilince kaynaklık ettiğini düşündüğümüz ruh kavramı için de benzer şeyleri söylemek mümkündür. Çalışmada günümüz filozof ve nörobilimcilerinin ana uğraş alanlarından biri haline gelen bu problem, ruh kavramından bilinç kavramına doğru gerçekleşen dönüşüm çerçevesinde incelendi. Bu dönüşümün gerçekleşmesi insanın kendini ve...

Phenomenology and Stream of Consciousness: The French New Wave and Modern Films

Journal of Education, Humanities and Social Sciences December 13, 2023 Jiayang Chen

Phenomenology is widely recognised as a philosophical framework that pertains to the comprehension of the universe and the investigation of epistemology, emphasising a shift towards seeing entities in their true form, while arguing that the outward manifestations are indicative of their intrinsic nature. The inclusion of consciousness in literary works deviates from conventional psychological...

5-MeO-DMT: An atypical psychedelic with unique pharmacology, phenomenology & risk?

Psychopharmacology December 11, 2023 Haley Maria Dourron, Charles D. Nichols, Otto Simonsson et al. 23 citations

5-MeO-DMT is a tryptamine being developed as a potential antidepressant that may display a distinct therapeutic mechanism due to its unique pharmacology and subjective effects compared to typical psychedelics. In this article, we parallel the relatively distinct phenomenology and behavioral effects of the acute and post-acute effects of 5-MeO-DMT to those induced by epileptiform activity,...

Informational non-reductionist theory of consciousness that providing maximum accuracy of reality prediction

arXiv Preprint Archive December 10, 2023 E. E. Vityaev preprint

The paper considers a non-reductionist theory of consciousness, which is not reducible to theories of reality and to physiological or psychological theories. Following D.I.Dubrovsky's "informational approach" to the "Mind-Brain Problem", we consider the reality through the prism of information about observed phenomena, which, in turn, is perceived by subjective reality through sensations,...

Inner speech as language process and cognitive tool.

Trends in Cognitive Sciences December 2023 Charles Fernyhough, Anna M Borghi

Many people report a form of internal language known as inner speech (IS). This review examines recent growth of research interest in the phenomenon, which has broadly supported a theoretical model in which IS is a functional language process that can confer benefits for cognition in a range of domains. A key insight to have emerged in recent years is that IS is an embodied experience...

The Pragmatics, Embodiment, and Efficacy of Lived Experience Assessing the Core Tenets of Varela's Neurophenomenology

Journal of Consciousness Studies December 1, 2023 Tom Froese, John J. Sykes 10 citations

Varela's enactive approach to cognitive science has been elaborated into a theoretical framework of agency, sense-making, and sociality, while his key methodological innovation — neurophenomenology (NP) — continues to inspire empirical work. We argue that the enactive approach was originally expressed in NP as three core tenets: (1) phenomenological pragmatics, (2) embodied cognition, and (3)...

Danilo Cargnello and his contribution to the development of phenomenological thought: an overview.

History of Psychiatry December 1, 2023 Filippo Besana 2 citations

Danilo Cargnello was one of the greatest authors of Italian phenomenological psychopathology. He wrote the first articles on the subject in 1947-8, a period in which phenomenological ideas began to spread in Italy. His main contribution was to introduce and disseminate Binswanger's ideas in Italy and to emphasise the anthropological character of Daseinsanalyse. His book analysing results of...

GERDA WALTER'S PHENOMENOLOGY OF MYSTICISM AND EDITH STEIN'S THEOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: A HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH

Scientific notes of the National University "Ostroh Academy". Series: Philosophy November 30, 2023 Никита Дрозд

This article examines two prominent aspects of contemporary philosophical and religious discourse: the phenomenology of mysticism in the work of Gerda Walther and theological anthropology presented in the writings of Edith Stein. Phenomenology of mysticism is one of the most interesting topics in modern philosophy and religious studies. This deep research area examines and analyzes spiritual...

Mescaline, between Psychopathology and Phenomenology: Sartre and Experimentation in 1930s France

The MIT Press eBooks November 21, 2023 Gautier Dassonneville 1 citation

In this chapter, I examine the undocumented history of mescaline in medical and psychiatric circles in France by reconstructing the scientific context in which Jean-Paul Sartre's famous bad trip took place in February 1935. 1 In this way, we can first consider that the very term "bad trip," sometimes ascribed to the experience retrospectively 2 on the basis of accounts by Simone de Beauvoir...

Bridging phenomenology and neural mechanisms of inner speech: ALE meta-analysis on egocentricity and spontaneity in a dual-mechanistic framework.

Neuroimage November 15, 2023 Jaydan Pratts, Gorana Pobric, Bo Yao

The neural mechanisms of inner speech remain unclear despite its importance in a variety of cognitive processes and its implication in aberrant perceptions such as auditory verbal hallucinations. Previous research has proposed a corollary discharge model in which inner speech is a truncated form of overt speech, relying on speech production-related regions (e.g. left inferior frontal gyrus)....

Exploring compatibilities between the Free Energy Principle and Heideggerian existential phenomenology as alternative dynamic conceptualizations of depression

November 11, 2023 Mathias Houe Andersen, Silja Katharina Arenfeldt preprint

This study concerns an interdisciplinary theoretical analysis of the underlying ways the depressed individual is related to the world. Specific aspects of this relation, namely time, mood and perception of affordances will be characterized. By understanding these relations from both an existential phenomenological Heideggerian approach and through the modern neuroscientific paradigm of the Free...

DOES THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF THE PSILOCYBIN EXPERIENCE PREDICT LONG-TERM EFFECTS ON MOOD AND WELL-BEING IN HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS?

IBRO Neuroscience Reports November 6, 2023 Tomáš Páleníček, Tereza Klučková, Marek Nikolič et al.

INTRODUCTION: The mechanisms by which the psychedelic drug psilocybin, a novel rapid-acting antidepressant, improves depressive symptoms are still unclear. One candidate mechanism is the impact of the phenomenology of the psychedelic experience, with positive phenomenology hypothesised to be associated with positive long-term outcomes and fearful phenomenology hypothesised to be associated with...

Freedom, Intentionality, and Trinitarian Love in Edith Stein’s Thought—The Need for a Phenomenology–Theology Dialogue to Have a Deeper Understanding of It

Religions November 1, 2023 Haddy Bello

The school of phenomenology went with Edith Stein all her life and became one of the guiding strings of her thought, which deepens more and more on the experience of the crucified. The Steinian idea of freedom starts from philosophy. However, it is intimately crossed by the theological (and mystical) question, since, for the author, the historical realization of the human life is possible when...

Psychosis, phenomenology, and culture: Welcoming the ‘black box’

Psychosis: Global Perspectives November 1, 2023 Neely Anne Laurenzo Myers

Abstract This chapter builds on an earlier critical review of literature (through 2011) concerning the relationships between culture and schizophrenia. It updates that review with new literature on the influences of culture on all aspects of psychosis (i.e. onset, manifestations, course, and outcome) and literature invoking culture as an explanation for variations in psychosis (i.e. in...

K.E. Løgstrup: Phenomenology of the Social World and Systematic Theology

Religions October 27, 2023 Svein Aage Christoffersen

In K.E. Løgstrup’s (1905–1981) theology, the point of intersection between phenomenology and systematic theology is our life experiences. In this article, Løgstrup’s way of combining phenomenology and theology is explored from the 1930s to the 1970s. The idea that life is not an amorphous abyss, but God’s creation runs like a connecting thread throughout Løgstrup’s oeuvre. This idea negating a...
