본 논문은 현대인의 불안 극복 방안으로 수(受, vedanā)가 지닌 치유 가능성을 모색하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이에 본 연구는 수(受)를 근(根, 감각기관), 경(境, 대상), 식(識, 인식 작용)의 삼사화합(三事和合, 감각 접촉)에서 발생하는 신체 반응과 감각, 그리고 이에 대한 지각으로 정의하고, 이를 중심으로 논의를 전개하고자 한다.이를 위해 수의 전통적 의미와 현대적 해석의 연구 동향을 검토하고, 국내 불안장애 실태를 개관한 뒤, 신경과학적 관점에서 불안과 수의 관계를 고찰함으로써 수의 치유 가능성을 탐색하였다.연구 결과, 불안의 신경과학적 메커니즘에서 신체 반응이 정서 경험에 선행한다는 핵심 원리를 확인할 수 있었으며, 수 단계에서의 신체 감각 관찰이 불안의 확산을 방지하고 정서 조절에...

This dialogue for both traditions shared a common grammar of...

What is consciousness, and how can we tell who—or what—has it? Consciousness is the ability to have experiences, such as seeing, feeling, thinking, or knowing that you exist. Scientists believe it depends on the brain, but they still do not fully understand how it works. Studying consciousness is difficult because it is personal and cannot be directly measured. Researchers use tools like brain...
