VOCAȚIA GÂNDIRII April 4, 2025 Andrei Ionuț Mărăşoiu
Andrei Ionuț Mărășoiu analyzes Mircea Dumitru’s proposal regarding cognitive qualia, exploring the subjective experience of understanding abstract concepts like logic, geometry, and meaning. The text distinguishes these from sensory qualia, examining whether "feeling a proof" is a purely cognitive phenomenon or tied to sensory presentation. While supporting Dumitru’s taxonomy, Mărășoiu warns...

This study explores the hypothesis that consciousness may transcend carbon-based life through principles of quantum entanglement, the holographic principle, orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR), and the multiverse hypothesis. In this regard, the interconnections between these theories and their implications for understanding consciousness were investigated. A Bayesian statistical...

Complex bodily hallucinations are not rare in psychiatric, neurological and toxicological conditions and may also be reported even in the total absence of any medical condition. Despite this, they are usually not clinically assessed independently from (and in comparison to) hallucinations in other modalities. The objective of this study was to develop a short scale assessing complex bodily...

Disorder of consciousness (DoC) poses diagnostic challenges due to behavioral assessment limitations. This study evaluates the spectral exponent (SE)-a neurophysiological biomarker quantifying the decay slope of electroencephalography (EEG) aperiodic activity-as an objective tool for consciousness stratification and clinical behavior scores correlation. The study involved 15 DoC patients, nine...
Time and Mind April 3, 2025 A. Skinner
ABSTRACT The structural similarity of animist ontologies across world regions hints at common underlying threads between them. This contribution examines the neurophenomenological context of animist experience, focusing on how a sense of consciousness and relationality can emerge as a primary feature of environmental experience rather than an imposed interpretation. While shamanic cosmologies...

This study offers a comparative analysis of the philosophical foundations of G. W. F. Hegel and Karl Marx with a focus on their respective conceptions of consciousness and reality. Drawing from classical texts and contemporary scholarship, it reconstructs Hegel’s dialectical idealism, which views reality as the unfolding of Absolute Spirit, and contrasts it with Marx’s materialist dialectics,...

The study of consciousness spans a vast array of domains, including perceptual awareness, cognition and metacognition, executive control, selfhood, sleep and dreaming, emotional competence, and empathy. It concerns both healthy states (e.g., meditation, aging, spiritual experiences) and pathological conditions (e.g., epilepsy, neglect syndromes, locked-in syndrome, minimally conscious states,...

(1) Background: Tinnitus is the perception of phantom sound in the absence of a corresponding external source. Previous studies reported that the presence of tinnitus is notably absent during dreams. This study aimed at replicating previous findings regarding tinnitus-free dreams, while also gaining a deeper understanding of tinnitus manifestations during dreams and after awakening. (2)...

While many theories focus on consciousness as a feature of individual brains, some instead situate it in a social context as an adaptation for the cognitive demands of human group life. Though these social approaches to consciousness provide an evolutionarily compelling and parsimonious account of its origins, it is less clear how the social basis of consciousness affects the phenomenological...
Philosophia April 1, 2025 G. Cruz, M. Heras-Escribano
In his work, Hubert L. Dreyfus identified Heidegger’s notion of being-in-the-world with skillful bodily adjustment, i.e. skillful coping. This interpretation has been very influential in the literature, especially for embodied and situated cognition. In this article we challenge such identification, as we think that it overlooks the hermeneutic dimension of Heidegger’s thought in which...
