The relationship between Islam, local culture, and national identity has become a central concern in contemporary studies of Indonesian Islam. While previous scholarship has extensively explored Sufism, religious authority, Islamic revivalism, and cultural accommodation, limited attention has been paid to the role of local mystical spirituality in shaping collective national belonging. This gap...

This essay examines the passage from attentional regulation to contemplative orientation and responsible participation. It distinguishes concentration, mindfulness, kindfulness, heartfulness, contemplation, and responsibility as changing functions within contemplative practice rather than as a rigid hierarchy of techniques. Through the images of the compass, the wheel, and the axis, the essay...

Contemporary theories of consciousness are often treated as competing accounts, yet they are frequently formulated at different explanatory levels and lack a common framework for relating them. This article argues that the central problem is not incompatibility alone, but the absence of a metatheoretical architecture for integrating theories that address epistemic, ontological,...

Fan Zhen’s 范缜 “Shen-Mie-Lun 神灭论” can be read as a debate between a physicalist and a dualist in the philosophy of mind. Many of Fan’s arguments found in the “Shen-Mie-Lun” correspond to contemporary physicalism in Western analytic philosophy. My aim in this essay is to bring Fan's “Shen-Mie-Lun” into conversation with contemporary physicalism in the following way: (1) offer an outline of Fan’s...

This paper argues that functional organization alone is not sufficient for phenomenal consciousness or the existence of a unified subject of experience. While many contemporary accounts of artificial consciousness assume that replicating the causal or computational structure of the brain would be sufficient for subjective experience, this paper identifies a deeper constraint: consciousness...

Rehabilitation care concerns not only the restoration of function but also how persons live through disruption. Injury and illness may bring loss, uncertainty, altered dependence, changed self-understanding, and a changed horizon of life. Concepts such as coping and resilience capture important aspects of adaptation but do not fully clarify the inner work involved in bearing and inhabiting such...

L'expérience psychédélique désigne le type particulier d'expérience de conscience que l'on peut vivre à la suite de la prise de substances telles que le LSD ou la psilocybine. Si l'expérience psychédélique a surtout été étudiée en pharmacologie et en neurosciences, plusieurs études récentes en anthropologie et en sociologie se sont intéressées à la conceptualisation de celle-ci en tant...

In this study, we replicate a striking dissociation of consciousness from action. The dissociation comes from Vorberg et al. (2003) who explored whether metacontrast-masked stimuli still prime subsequent actions. In metacontrast masking, stimuli are rendered less visible by increasing the time between it and a subsequent mask (ISI). Vorberg et al. demonstrated that as stimuli were less visible...

Abstract Mind wandering refers to spontaneous shifts of attention from ongoing tasks to unrelated thoughts. Evidence shows that such shifts are characterized by behavioral and physiological changes, such as heart rate and eye blinks. However, previous findings on cardiac changes during mind wandering are mixed, and little is known about whether mindfulness experience and acceptance-related...
