Method & Theory in the Study of Religion 2000 Frederic Peters 4 citations
AbstractAlthough the subject matter of religious studies is essentially phenomenal (e.g., conscious acts, attitudes, intentions, worldviews), the analysis of the basic datum, consciousness itself, remains of necessity incomplete because of the discipline's restriction to the phenomenal envelope. Philosophical and psychological analysis contributed to our understanding of consciousness, but,...

In some respects in reading this book I was reminded of the debate surrounding the publication of John Searle's paper entitled ``Minds, brains and programs''. Was I going to emerge from this process with a feeling of achieving some kind of `enlightenment', or was I going to be left in some kind of frustrating void? In 1994 David Chalmers presented a keynote paper to the `̀ Towards a scientific...
Journal of Phenomenological Psychology 1999 Will W. Adams
AbstractThis study, based upon empirical phenomenological research, explores an essential phenomenon of human existence: the interpermeating communion of self and world. In interpermeation, the supposed separation of self and world is transcended. The being, energy, life, and meaning of the world "flow into" one's self and become integrated as part of who one is; simultaneously, one's being,...

Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) are a cardinal feature of psychosis. Recent research is reviewed which has attempted to advance our knowledge of the mechanisms underlying this symptom. Phenomenological surveys have confirmed the importance of the content of such hallucinations and their meaning to the voice-hearer. Psychological and neuroimaging studies of inner speech and source...
Journal of Near-Death Studies December 1, 1998 J. Wade
Veridical evidence of a physically transcendent source of consciousness comes from both extremes of the life span when central nervous system functioning is compromised, suggesting that some form of personhood can exist independently of known cellular processes associated with the body. In pre- and perinatal accounts, veridical memories have surfaced of events in the first two trimesters, long...
Insight and Psychosis January 8, 1998 K William M Fulford
Abstract: Loss of insight, traditionally the essential feature of psychotic mental illness, has an equivocal place in present-day psychiatry. Difficulties of definition have led to minimilization of its significance in most modern classifications of mental disorders. Yet it remains important to the actual practice of psychiatry, especially in relation to ethical and medicolegal questions. In...

The Phenomenology of Everyday Life presents results from a rigorous qualitative approach to the psychological study of everyday human activities and experiences. This book does not replace scientific observation with humanistic analysis, but provides an additional perspective on significant human questions. The qualitative approach this book employs is grounded in the philosophical traditions...

A controversy rages in philosophical approaches to mind that goes to the core of the mind/body problem in psychiatry:how is it possible that a physical system, no matter complex, can give rise to the subjective experience of consciousness? Taking this irreducibility of consciousness into account, philosophical approaches to cognitive neuroscience and psychopathology, as well as the rapid...

Psychosis commonly occurs as a direct result of complex partial seizure disorder (CPSD). This organic mental disorder is indeed "complex" and is easily and frequently misdiagnosed as a variety of functional disorders, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar illness, psychotic depression, and, at best, "atypical psychosis." However, this important clinical syndrome has several...

Autoscopic phenomena involve the illusory reduplication of one's own body. The literature on the topic is widely scattered and suffers from considerable terminological and conceptual inconsistencies. This article proposes a classification scheme based on phenomenological criteria. Along with examples of illustrative cases, we outline the main features of autoscopic hallucinations, heautoscopy...
