This paper develops a contemplative phenomenology of the attentional elsewhere: the condition in which a person remains bodily situated in one place while attention, affect, and practical orientation become organised within another phenomenal world. Accounts of mind wandering, perceptual decoupling, and mental time travel explain important aspects of attentional departure but do not describe...

This paper argues that the predominant metaethical positions, namely, expressivism, naturalist realism, nonnaturalist realism, and error theory, treat normativity as explanatorily efficacious in thought and action only insofar as mental states mediate it. This reflects a mentalistic, representationalist conception of cognition and agency that restricts metaethical theorizing. To avoid this...

The research aim is to present an approach to the study of consciousness from the perspective of philosophical anthropology. The article reveals that the view of consciousness as a complex object emerged only in the mid-20th century, with the advent of neurocognitive science, which currently does not exhaust the possibilities of philosophical conceptualization. Philosophical anthropology could...

Large language models produce first-person expressions, simulate hesitation, and generate apparently self-referential judgments. These behaviors have reopened philosophical debates about machine selfhood, yet existing positions share an unexamined assumption: that genuine selfhood requires a persistent, unified substantial subject. This paper names that assumption substantial-self priority and...

This thesis proposes a methodology that melds theological inquiry with cinematic analysis ultimately arguing that cinema can serve as a site of mystical encounter. In an age of increasing irrationality, spiritual expression in cinema has shifted from a meditative, passive transcendentalism toward an active, urgent, and often violent mysticism. Drawing on contemporary cinematic examples from...

Abstract: Intensity has occupied a significant position in modern and contemporary philosophy, particularly in accounts of duration, affect, difference, embodiment, becoming, and material transformation. From Bergson’s analysis of qualitative multiplicity and duration to Deleuze’s ontology of intensive difference, and from phenomenological accounts of lived affectivity to contemporary...

The split-brain syndrome has long been interpreted as evidence for divided consciousness. However, while some classical findings have been challenged by recent studies, one robust phenomenon remains: the inability to compare stimuli presented independently to the left and right visual fields. Existing interpretations have increasingly preserved some notion of a unified subject or conscious...

Contemporary neuroscientific theories of consciousness—including Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNW), Integrated Information Theory (IIT), and the Predictive Processing/Free Energy Principle (PP/FEP)—have not formalized autonomic and neuromodulatory state as explicit dynamic control parameters within models of conscious integration. This gap constitutes the explanatory niche addressed by the...

Целью статьи является анализ новых аспектов проблемы сознания как явления правовой и квантовой реальности, обозначенных в контексте трёх научных революций - информационной, цифровой и квантовой. Мировоззренческая и методологическая задачи исследования состоят в том, чтобы показать деактуализацию традиционного отношения к сознанию как реальности ментального (идеального), противоположного...
