Psychoanalytic Dialogues September 1, 2011 John C. Foehl 9 citations
Distance is seen here not only as a clinical phenomenon of being hard to reach but as a phenomenon of the fundamental nature of experiencing. Distance is a concept that interweaves separateness and sameness, a way of understanding how we are fundamentally interconnected and yet private at the same time.
Advances in Consciousness Research August 31, 2011 Arthur Melnick
The predominant positive view among philosophers and scientists alike is that consciousness is something realized in brain activity. This view, however, largely fails to capture what consciousness is like according to how it shows itself to conscious beings. What this work proposes instead is that consciousness is a phenomenon that exists in and throughout the body. Apart from whether or not it...
Medicine, Health Care, and Philosophy August 1, 2011 Rolf Ahlzén
Scientific medicine has been successful by ways of an ever more detailed understanding and mastering of bodily functions and dysfunctions. Biomedical research promises new triumphs, but discontent with medical practice is all around. Since several decades this has been acknowledged and discussed. The philosophical traditions of phenomenology and hermeneutics have been proposed as promising ways...
Medicine, Health Care, and Philosophy August 1, 2011 Fredrik Svenaeus
In this paper, an attempt is made to develop an understanding of the essence of illness based on a reading of Martin Heidegger's pivotal work Being and Time. The hypothesis put forward is that a phenomenology of illness can be carried out through highlighting the concept of otherness in relation to meaningfulness. Otherness is to be understood here as a foreignness that permeates the ill life...

Analysis June 20, 2011 John Cottingham
We are all familiar with the alleged ‘hard problem’ of consciousness – explaining how the subjective world of conscious awareness could arise out of neuronal activity. Owen Flanagan, an out-and-out naturalist, is committed to dissolving this much discussed problem without any appeal to ‘spooky’ immaterial entities or properties. Instead, he proposes that the solution depends on accepting what...
MacSphere June 16, 2011 Darren E. Dahl
This dissertation examines the thought of Jean-Luc Marion in light of his treatment of divine revelation and in connection to the hermeneutic phenomenology of Paul Ricoeur. It argues, first, that Marion’s thought bears within itself significant ambiguities that are determined by the legacies of the key concepts which organize his work: ‘givenness’ (donation) and saturation. Secondly, it also...
International Journal of Machine Consciousness June 1, 2011 Donald S. Borrett, David J. H. Shih, Michael Tomko et al. 6 citations
A formalism is developed that treats a robot as a subject that can interpret its own experience rather than an object that is interpreted within our experience. A regulative definition of a meaningful experience in robots is proposed in which the present sensible experience is considered meaningful to the agent, as the subject of the experience, if it can be related to the agent's temporal...

When C. G. Jung partnered with Sigmund Freud, he already had a broad knowledge of world mythology and an understanding of the unconscious formed largely from Schopenhauer’s Will and Nietzsche’s Dionysian energy of nature, or physis. Unwilling to reduce this unconscious—matrix of dreams, myth, and literature—to Freud’s infantile sexual libido, Jung’s break with Freud was inevitable. His long...
