In the article, we explore, from the perspective of genetic phenomenology, the embodied image consciousness in terms of two distinct cases, i.e.: surrealism as social and/or artistic movement as well as radiology as cognitive and/or social praxis. Both scientifically and socially, consciousness is still regarded as coextensive with language, which has its own logic and its own set of relations,...
every age, it has been said, is an ‘age of transition’. So too, it might be said, is every age, in the history of the philosophy of mind at least, an age of revolt. Indeed this is almost a logical necessity. One who enters the pages of this history does so only by raising some banner of revolt; and the more faithful his disciples the sooner they are forgotten. It is upon the unfaithful disciple...
In this paper, which is in part intended as a speculative provocation and which combines philosophy of science, clinical practice and psychedelic therapy in a novel manner, we examine ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) through the lens of an expanded model of enactive cognition. While much work within both KAP and psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) in general has relied upon broadly...
Tom Stoppard’s 2015 play The Hard Problem centres on an argument about the eponymous philosophical concept related to the study of consciousness, a phrase coined by the Australian analytic philosopher David Chalmers. The play’s investment in philosophy of mind results in heavily discursive dialogue, which many critics of the play felt rendered the script more like a series of arguments than a...
This paper examines the notion of further facts and its significance for contemporary metaphysics. Many central metaphysical questions can be understood as disputes over whether certain facts are contingent relative to the physical structure of the universe. A paradigmatic example is the debate over whether mental facts are contingent upon physical facts. Similar issues arise in discussions of...
A personal essay collection and structured knowledge graph mapping the three major Buddhist Abhidharma traditions (Theravāda, Sarvāstivāda, Yogācāra) onto contemporary frameworks in computational phenomenology — predictive processing, active inference, Global Workspace Theory, Parallel Distributed Processing, and related approaches. Comprises sixteen essays (eight themes × English + Japanese),...
In a recent taxonomy of different philosophies of mind, Robert Lawrence Kuhn classified Rudolf Steiner's view as a mind-body dualism. We argue that this classification is incorrect. Rather, Steiner's view is trinitarian and represents a unification of monism and dualism. Hence, the trinitarian conception of the human being in Steiner not only challenges Kuhn's taxonomic placement of Steiner's...
Severe mental illness is frequently approached through nosological criteria focused on symptom severity, neglecting the complexity of lived experience. Phenomenology understands psychopathology not as an isolated biological dysfunction, but as a radical alteration in the structure of being-in-the-world. Grounded in Merleau-Ponty's ontology and Max van Manen's phenomenology of practice, this...
This review integrates anthropological and neuroscientific perspectives to elucidate music-induced trance processes and their relevance to non-ordinary states of consciousness (NSCs). The objectives are to deepen the understanding of trance phenomena, delineate links across diverse trance expressions, and inform future neuroscientific research. Drawing on anthropological insights, we examine...

This article examines the problem of subjectivity in David Chalmers’ formulation of the hard problem of consciousness, particularly the difficulty of explaining subjective experience and qualia within a predominantly third-person scientific framework. The study argues that the exclusion or marginalization of the experiencing subject generates both a methodological limitation in investigating...
Within Romanian prose of the first half of the twentieth century, Max Blecher literature occupies a singular position in the narration of the body, representing corporeality as prior to any determinate form of thought. In his prose, embodied memory and perception as a mode of knowledge intersect to configure a body that actively generates its own cognitive processes. Drawing on the explanatory...
Abstract Recent advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) renewed the enthusiasm for what AIs can do. While some argue that AIs can be viable models for understanding human cognition, others go further and claim that future AIs might display cognitive capacities. However, although some current models excel at tasks such as language processing and pattern recognition, their...
In twentieth-century pragmatist thought, a conflict emerged between two epistemological orientations, expressed through the metaphors of coping with (interaction) and copy (representation). This work examines the reductionist approach to resolving this conflict. The starting point is Richard Rorty’s philosophy, which, alongside radical constructivism, embraces the metaphor of coping with while...
Introduction. Apparently, the most important property of consciousness is its blurring in reflections when trying to build its theory. Therefore, it is so difficult to focus the research request on the nature of the mind and consciousness, which, however, impresses with the compactness of expression and the possibilities of meanings concentration. So, in the language of mathematics, the...
The article examines the fundamental causes of the crisis in the contemporary philosophy of consciousness. The most important of these is the formulation of the difficult problem of consciousness as a question about the nature of subjective experience (qualia), which results in the reduction of consciousness to elementary sensations - visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory. More...
Phenomenological epistemologies of moral and religious experience face a small number of characteristic logical pitfalls whose consequences, when they are not avoided, ramify through an entire programme. Three such pitfalls are examined in this paper through their systematic exemplification in the work of Anthony J. Steinbock, whose programme spanning Moral Emotions (2014), Phenomenology and...
The article reconstructs the methodological context in which Jacques Waardenburg’s neo-phenomenology of religion emerges. It argues that Waardenburg’s project is not an external rejection of classical phenomenology of religion, but its internal critical revision. Classical phenomenology gave religious studies a language for describing religious phenomena and preserved attention to meaning, yet...
Memory is not merely the storage of data; it is the scaffolding of reality. When biological memory fades, the world does not simply turn black; it regresses into an unrecognizable chaos. Echoes of the Prior is an interactive installation that attempts to visualize this subjective phenomenology of forgetting . By inducing controlled synaptic decay within a Feed-Forward 3D Reconstruction model,...
Hegel’s philosophy presents self-consciousness, negation, and social recognition as the driving forces of mind’s development and the pinnacle of Spirit’s self-realization. In this view, the narrative, self-relating subject is not a defect but the crowning achievement of reality coming to know itself. By contrast, contemplative traditions and certain phenomenological models treat the narrative,...
Abstract Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Mind is an annual publication of some of the most cutting-edge work in the philosophy of mind. This volume includes two main clusters of articles—one on the intersection of epistemology and philosophy of mind, the other on the philosophical psychology of the reactive attitudes—as well as articles on mental representation, consciousness and moral status,...
