Naïve Psychology: Ten Good Reasons not to Stop at Appearances

Advances in Social Sciences and Management June 16, 2026 Edoardo Casiglia

Human beings navigate daily life by relying on a set of implicit assumptions about reality, assumptions so deeply ingrained as to appear self-evident. This paper examines ten of these assumptions, collectively termed naïve psychology, and demonstrates that each of them, when subjected to rigorous scientific and philosophical scrutiny, proves to be fundamentally mistaken. The ten beliefs...

Ethical Philosophy of Sri Aurobindo and Its Resonance in Modern French Intellectual and Cultural Discourse: A Comparative Study

Advanced International Journal for Research June 16, 2026 Samant Kumar

The present paper explores the importance of the ethics of Sri Aurobindo in the context of the current intellectual and cultural discourse in France. For Aurobindo, ethics is not the set of absolute principles but a movement that is a part of the overall development process of consciousness. In “The Human Cycle”, the author introduces the notion of morality as one of the stages in the...

Reframing the Debate on the Post-mortem Experiences

Religion and Theology June 16, 2026 Pieter F. Craffert

Abstract The debate between evangelical and skeptical scholars about Jesus’s post-mortem appearances has long been framed as a binary choice: either his followers literally saw a bodily resurrected Jesus (the Resurrection Hypothesis) or they experienced hallucinations and collective delusions (the Hallucination Hypothesis). This article argues that despite their radical disagreement, both...

Consciousness during Organ Harvesting

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) June 16, 2026 Mart Wijn preprint

Abstract Current medical and ethical standards governing organ harvesting under anesthesia rest on an assumption that has never been formally tested: that the absence of behavioral response and narrative consciousness constitutes the absence of all consciousness. This paper argues that this assumption is both scientifically unexamined and potentially incorrect. Drawing on a documented model of...

Self-disorders and first-person authority

Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences June 16, 2026 Rick Bellaar, Jasper Feyaerts

This article explores the notion of first-person authority (FPA) in self-disorders (SD). It will be argued that the ‘ipseity disturbance model’ (IDM) of SD cannot account for the FPA of reports of disturbed mineness in SD. Moreover, it will be argued that the phenomenological account of a ‘loss of common sense’ - typically coupled with the IDM - cannot account for the FPA of reports of...

Phenomenal consciousness, access to consciousness and the cognitive unconscious: the problem of correlativity

Philosophy of Science and Technology June 16, 2026 Aleksandr V. Katunin

This article analyzes the relationship and correlation between the cognitive unconscious, phe­nomenal consciousness, and access consciousness. N. Blok’s distinction between phenomenal consciousness (subjective experience, “what it’s like to be”) and access consciousness (infor­mation available for behavioral control and verbal reporting) is used as a theoretical frame­work. This approach is...

Beyond its theological significance, growing academic interest has examined prayer and related religious practices in relation to psychological...

“Spiritual Breakthrough” and “What Makes China”: A Study of Chen Yun’s The Historical Philosophy of Civilization and the Revision of Voegelin’s “Image of China”

International Confucian Studies June 15, 2026 Qiuliu Jiang

Abstract Through a critical reflection on Eric Voegelin’s narrative of the Chinese spiritual breakthrough, Chen Yun’s The Historical Philosophy of Civilization attempts to revise and reconstruct the “Image of China” in the Ecumenic Age. This reconstruction is defined by four comparative dimensions. First, the Sage (圣人), rather than the King (帝王), is identified as the true carrier of the Chinese...

Forum for Linguistics and Translation Studies June 15, 2026 Hongbo Li

This research elucidates the cognitive mechanisms of bodily motion-emotion expressions and strengthens the theoretical foundation for embodied meaning construction in language. A detailed analysis of the essence of consciousness activity in constructing bodily motion-emotion expressions through gestalt transformation implies a development from primary consciousness to reflective consciousness,...
