Adventure therapy has predominantly emphasized behavioral change, functional recovery, and the development of adaptive capacities, while its longstanding use of therapeutic metaphor has received less attention at the level of consciousness through which metaphoric experience becomes transformative. This theoretical–conceptual paper brings existential hypnotherapy, a phenomenologically grounded...

Christopher Peacocke proposed that a concept is individuated by the conditions a subject must meet to possess it, bringing the philosophy of concepts closer to cognition, but he left unexplained how those conditions arise. This article aims to propose, from the standpoint of Cognitive Psychiatry, a genetic and communicational theory of conceptualization that completes Peacocke’s theory of...

Abstract Invocatory practices hold a significant place in Indian classical dance, yet their possible role in preparing aesthetic consciousness warrants closer investigation. Beyond their devotional and ceremonial significance, this study examines whether ritualised openings may facilitate Manomukura, the clarified mirror of the mind associated with aesthetic receptivity in Sanskrit poetics....
Comparative and Continental Philosophy October 18, 2026 C. H. Sawyer
This essay develops a structural alignment between Nāgārjuna’s concept of śūnyatā (emptiness) and contemporary models of recursive identity in cognitive science and philosophy of mind. While Madhyamaka philosophy rejects the intrinsic essence (svabhāva) of the self, recent enactivist and self-model theories similarly deny foundational subjectivity, treating identity as emergent from recursive...

Abstract Background Treatments with acute consciousness-altering effects, such as (es)ketamine, place patients in a state of heightened vulnerability with reduced capacity for self-advocacy and self-regulation. Since feeling safe is a precondition for consenting to begin, and remaining in, treatment, this raises distinct ethical demands on care. Which features of the setting enable patients to...

Background Psychedelic medicine is approaching regulatory approval, and suggestion alone can now occasion mystical-type experiences in the laboratory. Yet the field still names altered states after their triggers, and nobody can yet show whether the state itself, rather than its context, is what heals. Objective This review reads the evidence presented at the 2026 Annual Conference of the...

This paper argues that the concept of human mindedness may be employed as a Carnapian explicatum that enables progress to be made in the debate about strong AI, that is, the thesis that ‘the appropriately programmed computer really is a mind’. It is shown that a holistic notion of human mindedness – conceived as all of what may typically occur in the mental life of a human being – yields...

Contemporary neurolinguistics views language not as a function of isolated brain regions but as the outcome of coordinated activity across interconnected neural networks. This perspective provides a basis for examining the neurobiological foundations of linguistic consciousness. The aim of this study is to provide a theoretical account of linguistic consciousness at the intersection of...

Figshare October 17, 2026 Fangcun Zhang preprint
This monograph examines BZ will and cosmic intelligence through the philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, and the study of self-organizing systems. It asks what physical models can explain about organization, persistence, information, and agency, and where further conceptual arguments or empirical evidence are required.The discussion connects reaction–diffusion dynamics, thermodynamics,...
