Panpsychism or Evolutionary Materialism

Philosophy of Science October 1, 1960 Roy Wood Sellars 4 citations

I shall be concerned in this paper with the consideration of panpsychism and of materialism in new forms as alternatives. Extended reference will be made to C. S. Peirce's view of perception as realistic in intention and yet not quite clear as to its mechanism and how it attains objective import. I shall say little about Whitehead as a representative of panpsychism as I have just finished a...

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD-25) as a Facilitating Agent in Psychotherapy

Archives of General Psychiatry March 1, 1960 Arthur L. Chandler 77 citations

Our use of drug-facilitated psychotherapy has been to aid repressed material to become conscious and to increase insight. Any method or tool which facilitates these processes has the possibility of being a valuable psychotherapeutic tool. Certain drugs on which we have done research, such as mescaline, ALD-52, ibogaine, psilocybin, Ditran (N-ethyl-3-piperidyl cyclopentylphenyl glycolate HC1),...

La psychobiologie et la science

Dialectica 1959 Raymond Ruyer 4 citations

Résumé Les doctrines vitalistes ou panpsychistes ont représenté longtemps le courant central de la pensée philosophique, et même scientifique. L'atomisme mécaniste n'était qu'une philosophie d'amateur, inutilisable scientifiquement. L'avènement de la mécanique galiléenne a interverti momentanément les rôles. Mais aujourd'hui, I'avèement de la microphysique permet de donner un sens précis au...

Explorations in Psychotherapy

Archives of Neurology And Psychiatry October 1, 1958 J. Sanbourne Bockoven 1 citation

The singularly pervasive effectiveness of lysergic acid in altering the subjective experience and objective behavior of those to whom it is given affords unique opportunity for exploring methods of psychotherapy. Two attributes of lysergic acid psychoses especially favor such study. First, there is no impairment of consciousness during the psychotic reactions. Second, the severity and duration...

Dreams and Time

Diogenes September 1, 1957 María Zambrano 1 citation

Until now, the analysis of dreams has dealt almost exclusively with their contents and has been concerned with an attempt to extract all their meaning from the images which appear in them. As is well known, the incorporation into science of the analysis of dreams began with Freud, who, upon discovering a basic hypothesis or subject, quickly arrived at a kind of metaphysics of which dreams are...

Is consciousness a brain process?

British Journal of Psychology February 1, 1956 U. Place

The thesis that consciousness is a process in the brain is put forward as a reasonable scientific hypothesis, not to be dismissed on logical grounds alone. The conditions under which two sets of observations are treated as observations of the same process, rather than as observations of two independent correlated processes, are discussed. It is suggested that we can identify consciousness with...

The Therapeutic Value of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide in Mental Illness

Journal of Mental Science April 1, 1954 R. A. Sandison, A. M. Spencer, J. D. A. Whitelaw 191 citations

D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD 25) was first prepared in 1938 by Stoll and Hofmann. It is the synthetic amide of d-lysergic acid with a secondary amine, diethylamine and belongs to the ergonovine group of ergot alkaloids all of which have lysergic acid as a base. After its ingestion in minute doses, it induces psychic states in which the subject becomes aware of repressed memories and other...
