This chapter probes what lies beyond the enduring rational, conscious, Lockean legal subject by speculatively returning to the disregarded body in sleep. The answer is formulated through studies of the phenomenology of sleep and the political theology of the sleeping king, which converge on a concept of legal vigilance. These inquiries are used to demonstrate the inherently collective and...

Abstract Our paper is concerned with theories of direct perception in ecological psychology that first emerged in the second half of the twentieth century. Ecological psychology continues to be influential among philosophers and cognitive scientists today who defend a 4E (embodied, embedded, extended, enactive) approach to the scientific study of cognition. Ecological psychologists have...

Abstract Synthetic physicalism—understood as the view that while mental concepts are distinct from physical concepts, mental properties are nonetheless identical to physical properties—is the dominant type of reductive physicalism in the philosophy of mind. With a focus on phenomenal concepts, this article examines two competing versions of synthetic physicalism: the demonstrative approach and...

How subjective experience (i.e., consciousness) arises out of objective material processes has been called the hard problem. The neuroscience of consciousness has set out to find the sufficient conditions for consciousness and theoretical and empirical endeavours have placed a particular focus on the cortex and subcortex, whilst discounting the cerebellum. However, when looking at neuroimaging...

Abstract In this essay, Landmann-Kalischer defends a cognitivist account of our experience of art, according to which art conveys a distinctive truth to us about “subjective reality,” that is, the reality of consciousness, mental phenomena, and lived experience. In defending this position, she rejects a Kantian view according to which our experience of art is not cognitive. However, she also...

Virtual Reality has emerged as a valuable tool in medical education, primarily for teaching basic sciences and procedural skills. However, its potential in clinical psychiatry, particularly in comprehending the subjective experiences of individuals with mental illness, remains largely untapped. This paper aims to address this gap by proposing a phenomenological-driven approach to the design of...

To begin at the ending, these volumes are recommended for members of the SSE.That is despite the many difficulties that I found in reviewing these books.It appears to me that the author is an astute observer and reporter on various phenomena, as opposed to being a practitioner, experiencer, or independent researcher of the topics about which he writes.Nonetheless, the sheer volume of anecdotes...

Ketamine commonly and rapidly induces dissociative and other altered states of consciousness (ASCs) in humans. However, the neural mechanisms that contribute to these experiences remain unknown. We used functional neuroimaging to engage key regions of the brain’s affective circuits during acute ketamine-induced ASCs within a randomized, multi-modal, placebo-controlled design examining placebo,...

International psychiatry is facing major challenges due to the rapid increase in mental health issues. The forthcoming mental health crisis has opened the debate about the need to broaden the therapeutic horizons with the implementation of digitally assisted mindfulness practices within psychotherapeutic interventions. Mindfulness training is developing into a promising intervention for a...

We distinguish between different problems of “aboutness”: the “hard” problem of explaining the everyday phenomenon of intentionality and three less challenging “easy” sets of problems concerning the posits of folk psychology, the notions of representation invoked in the mind‐brain sciences, and the intensionality (with an “s”) of mental language. The problem of intentionality is especially hard...
