As artificial agents display increasingly sophisticated emotion-like behaviors, frameworks for assessing whether such systems risk instantiating consciousness remain limited. This contribution asks whether synthetic emotion-like control can be implemented while deliberately excluding architectural features that major theories associate with access-like consciousness. We propose architectural...
The October 7th, 2023, attack at the Nova rave represents an unprecedented scenario in trauma research: A mass casualty event in which most participants were under the influence of psychedelics. Using a mixed-methods phenomenological design, 45 survivors were interviewed. Participants were categorized by substance use: classic psychedelics (n = 24), empathogens (n = 19), and ketamine (n = 2)....
Recent years have witnessed an “interactive turn” in the cognitive sciences, increasingly foregrounding real-time social interaction and organism–environment dynamics. Yet, even the interactive turn often stops short of its own implications, leaving an individual-first explanatory order largely intact. Taking these implications seriously points toward an explanatory reversal: human...
본고는 석전 박한영의 『백법론회석』에 나타난 유식학과 참선의 관계를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 석전은 1916년 중앙학림 교재로 『백법론회석』을 편찬하면서, 명대 유식학자 명욱의 주석과 더불어 여래장 사상에 입각한 덕청의 주석을 함께 회편하였다. 여기에는 유식학의 이론적 이해를 참선 수행의 실천으로 연결하려는 의도가 들어가 있다. 덕청은 상종(유식)과 성종(여래장)의 긴장 관계를 『대승기신론』의 ‘일심 이문’ 구조로 통합하고, 선종을 교외별전(敎外別傳)으로 위치시켰다. 수행론적으로는 아뢰야식을 ‘불생멸이 생멸과 화합한 것’으로 규정하여 각의(불성)와 불각의(무명)를 함께 갖춘 것으로 보았으며, 심소를 업 생성의 과정으로 재편하였다. 특히 변행심소 5가지를 ‘선악이 최초로 움직이는 찰나’로 파악하고,...
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s Queen of Dreams provides a complex and multidisciplinary research of subjectivity through the interrelated modalities of dream, memory, and identity within a diasporic context. Situated at the convergence of psychological inner conciousness and cultural displacement, the novel rearticulates inner experience as a dynamic site where personal history, unconscious...
This article examines the relationship between digital consciousness, embodiment and power in Richard K. Morgan’s Altered Carbon within the framework of postcyberpunk literature. Drawing upon N. Katherine Hayles’ posthumanism, Michel Foucault’s biopolitics and biopower, and theories of late capitalism by Frederic Jameson and David Harvey, and Jean Baudrillard’s simulacra, this study argues that...
Anita Desai with the use of stream of consciousness technique has focused on the inner activities of psyche and concentrated in the mental thoughts and their continuous flow. Her novels clearly showcase the characters’ psychic and emotional picture with their internal impulses. Desai opens a new dimension of finding psychological reality in the Indian fiction. Memory plays a very important role...
This study examines the critical foundations of the concept of stream of consciousness as a complex term that emerged at the intersection of philosophical and psychological discourses before being reconstituted within literary criticism as a narrative technique representing the flow of human consciousness. The study argues that the concept has faced a dual crisis: an operational one, reflected...
This article examines whether religious and aesthetic experiences share a common processual architecture and explains why clarifying this relationship matters for the psychology of religion, neuroaesthetics, phenomenology, ritual studies, and applied care. The study was designed as a structured integrative review organized using a PRISMA 2020-informed screening logic. Peer-reviewed studies...
This study examines the epistemological foundations of ṭarīqa (Sufi orders) by reconstructing their role as systems of spiritual education within the broader framework of Islamic pedagogy. In modern academic discourse, tarekat are often reduced to mere ritual practices or socio-religious institutions. In contrast, this study argues that tarekat constitute a structured epistemological system...
