To achieve this, the authors address the following research objectives: to characterize existing ap-proaches to understanding the nature of AI, to identify their strengths and weaknesses, to determine which ap-proach allows for establishing the presence and/or absence...

This preprint proposes a synthetic hypothesis concerning the possible emergence of subjective experience in physical autonomous systems. The hypothesis examines the possible relationship between boundedness, autonomy, internal states, embodiment, memory, prediction, action, self-modeling, and subjective perspective. It does not claim to provide a complete solution to the hard problem of...

The intensity of altered states of consciousness (ASC) induced by a psychedelic represents a key mechanism underlying the therapeutic effects of psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT). However, growing evidence suggests that expectations may contribute significantly to therapeutic effects of PAT. The present study examined whether a psychedelic placebo could induce an ASC in a PAT- analogous...

In recent decades, plant sciences have profoundly transformed our philosophical understanding of plants, moving beyond the traditional view of the plant organism as a passive, mechanical entity devoid of agency. Contemporary research into plant physiology, chemical communication and adaptive strategies has helped to outline a theoretical framework: plants emerge as complex systems, capable of...

The sense of self is fundamental to experience, yet its neural basis remains unresolved. Contemplative traditions and empirical evidence suggest it can be voluntarily dissolved while retaining awareness, offering a window onto this question. We combined magnetoencephalography with in-depth phenomenology in long-term meditators (N=45, mean 3,832 practice hours) who reliably modulated...

Abstract In the introduction to his major work of philosophy, Mind and Matter , Henri Bergson declares that both spirit and matter exist, and that we can determine the precise relation between them through the study of memory. More than a century later, Yasushi Hirai takes up this project and outlines an original and distinct interpretation and development of the Bergsonian approach to episodic...

This work develops a phenomenological account of mindfulness, and related phenomena. It is divided into two main parts. The aim of part one is to articulate a pre-phenomenological sketch of mindfulness (and related phenomena) by (1) drawing on passages from some of the classic works of Western literature and everyday life, (2) through an interpretation of the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta and (3) by the...

The rapid development of digital society and the increasing complexity of existential problems have intensified the need for a comprehensive spiritual framework capable of explaining the relationship between human beings, others, and God. Pamela G. Reed's Self-Transcendence Theory has been widely applied in nursing science to explain well-being through the expansion of personal boundaries....

This article examines the question of God in contemporary phenomenology from a strictly philosophical standpoint, namely, the scope and limit of the phenomenological method when it opens itself to phenomena that seem to exceed intentional constitution and eidetic description. From Husserl to thinkers such as Levinas, Henry, Lacoste, and especially Jean-Luc Marion, the study shows that...

In this paper, I propose a collaborative approach to analysing the phenomenal experience of episodic remembering, bringing together contemporary phenomenology of existential feelings with metacognitive approaches to the feeling of pastness. I explore the issue of how existential feelings, through their pre-intentional function, can constitute the intentionality and valence of the epistemic...
