This book examines the central question about consciousness: that is, the question of how phenomenal features of our experience are related to physical features of our nervous system. Using the way in which we experience color as a central case, it develops a novel account of how consciousness...

The purpose of this study is to understand the later Heideggerian thought within the characteristics of the negative-theological and mystical methodology and to reveal its ontological significance thereafter.

Phosphenes, the perception of light without external visual input, represent a rich intersection of neuroscience, subjective experience, and contemplative practice. While Heinrich Klüver's 1928 classification of four geometric "form constants" (lattices, cobwebs, tunnels, spirals) laid foundational groundwork for understanding these phenomena, it offers a limited scope for the diversity of...

When comparing two different topos of culture – Western and Eastern (Indian) – regarding the understanding of the essence of consciousness, it was found that consciousness is the key constant for understanding any culture. The analysis of the two most prominent Western thinkers of the 20th century (M.Heidegger and A.Badiou) showed that all European culture from its origins (in ancient Greece)...

This article explores the often-overlooked question of how literary reading might give rise to experiences that readers themselves identify as spiritual. Framed by William James’s account of “mystical susceptibility” and recent psychological models of spirituality as altered states of consciousness involving shifts in perception, affect, and cognition, the essay asks how engagement with...

The article considers existential and phenomenological aspects of the phenomenon of health from the standpoint of enactivism, which is understood as a body-oriented phenomenology. Enactivism was developed because the biomedical understanding of health (as the absence of disease), which dominates medical practice, is insufficient.A certain approximation to the enactivist approach is the holistic...
