Psychiatry yesterday, today, and tomorrow

March 16, 2026 Claudio Maddaloni

This chapter explores the nature and implications of psychiatric crisis from a critical and innovative perspective, moving beyond the tradition of mainstream psychiatry. The author begins with the clinical observation of the patient in crisis, emphasizing how the severity of the episode is often disproportionate to external events. Psychiatric crisis is portrayed as a radical rupture of...

Reflexive Awareness: Cross-Traditional Convergence

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) March 16, 2026 Bruno Tonetto preprint

Abstract: Under standard physicalist epistemology, reports of awareness that knows itself without ego, narration, or subject–object structure are classified as confusion or confabulation before their epistemic status is even assessed. The disqualification is not the outcome of investigation but its precondition — built into what counts as legitimate experience. This essay examines what becomes...

Return to Consciousness: A Comparative Case for Consciousness-First Metaphysics

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) March 16, 2026 Bruno Tonetto preprint

Abstract: This is the foundational synthesis of the Return to Consciousness project. The one thing every investigation of nature presupposes — conscious experience — has for over a century been treated as a byproduct of the things it was used to study. This essay argues that consciousness-first metaphysics — specifically Bernardo Kastrup's analytic idealism — handles the resulting explanatory...

Beyond Legalism: Rudolf Steiner’s Esoteric Reinterpretation of Paul’s Doctrine of Law, Justification, and the Evolution of Consciousness

Advance Research in Psychology and Behavioural Sciences March 16, 2026 Nicos Kaloyirou

Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophical project seeks to bridge the chasm between the empirical rigidity of modern science and the mystical depths of religious experience.For Steiner, the Apostle Paul is not merely a theological architect of early Christianity, but the first "spiritual scientist" of the Christian era-a figure whose conversion on the Damascus road constitutes a prototype for a...

Redefining disability and pathology as both developmental and relational: the ‘phenomenological congruence and flexibility’ approach to disability

Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences March 16, 2026 Joshua Sealy

This paper reframes disability and pathology through a developmental-relational lens, introducing the phenomenological congruence framework to complement existing models. The ecological-enactive model, ecological functional model, and microactivist affordances approaches offer valuable insight into disability but do not fully account for how developmental trajectories shape people’s capacity to...

The Inner Framework of Personality: Pañca-Kośa, Guṇas, and Antaḥkaraṇa in Dialogue with Cognitive Neuroscience

International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research March 16, 2026 Anupma Chaandel, Saamdu Chetri

This study explains personality by combining Western psychology and Indian yogic philosophy. It shows that personality is not just traits or behavior but a growth of awareness and inner balance through body, mind, and consciousness: Pañca-Kośa, Triguṇa, and Antaḥkaraṇa. Yoga is presented as a practical path for personality development and inner transformation.

Calibrating Minds: Cognitive Constructivism and the Formation of Shared Reality

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) March 15, 2026 Tenzin Trepp preprint

Human cognition does not passively mirror reality; it actively constructs a world through perception and social interaction. Using a cognitive constructivist framework, this paper investigates how shared reality and intersubjectivity emerge from dynamic processes of calibration between minds. We synthesize evidence from psychology (e.g. shared reality theory, conversational alignment),...
