This article reviews historically significant phenomenological studies of visual mental imagery (VMI), starting with Fechner in 1860 and continuing to the present. This synthesis of diverse VMI phenomenological studies in healthy adults serves as a unique resource for investigators of individual differences, cognitive development and clinical and neurological conditions. The review focuses on...
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...
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 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 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,...
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,...
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...
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 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...
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...
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...

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)....

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...
Bu makalede İbn Sina’nın zati şuur kavramı ve bu kavramın çağdaş zihin felsefesindeki yeri araştırılmıştır. Çalışmamızın odak noktasını oluşturan İbn Sina’nın zati şuur kavramı, kişinin kendine dair bir bilinç durumunu ifade etmektedir. Bu bilinç durumundan kastedilenin anlaşılabilmesi için öncelikle İbn Sina’nın nefs teorisinden; nefsin tanımı, gayr-i cismani oluşu, yaratılması,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
