Abstract: Analytic Panpsychism has been brought into contact with Indian philosophy primarily through an examination of the Advaita Vedānta tradition and the Yogācāra tradition. In this work I explore the relation between Rāmānuja, the 12th century father of the Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta tradition, and analytic panpsychism. I argue that Rāmānuja’s philosophy inspires a more world affirming form of...

The article focuses on three biographies of Josef Knecht from the novel by Hermann Hesse “The Glass Bead Game” with regard to the postulates of transpersonal psychology. A thorough study provides insight into the peculiarities of a unique literary technique – the transfer of the “self” into different historical periods by means of imagination, as a kind of “way to self”, devotion to truth...

Integrated information theory (IIT) stands out as one of the most promising approaches to scientifically understand the emergence of consciousness. Even if it borrows from the phenomenology of consciousness to derive its axiomatic formulation, IIT does not initially adhere to any particular ontological position. However, its founder leans towards panpsychism. More recently, Owen has studied the...

There is still no clear explanation of the process of perceptual consciousness that connects our body with brain. Innovation on the technology of bioceramic has now advanced towards clinical applications, including rehabilitation of brain infarction, therapies of insomnia and migraine. To demonstrate how ‘resonant energy transfer through the bioceramic material with tempo sound and visible...

This chapter draws upon my own experience with contemplative practice, meditation and mindfulness to examine the relationship between nondual awareness and liberation. Engaging with the Du Boisian notion of double consciousness as well as scholarship on Black feminism, Black studies and critical race studies, I narrate my engagement with nondual approaches to spirituality and mindfulness...

Abhyas and Vairagya, the core principles of Yoga, set the stage for other practices that lead to control of the mind and Self-realization. Together, the principles take one through the right path to achieve the ultimate goal of realizing the Self. We saw so many things in our surrounding that do misguide us to our main goal of our life (Kaivalya). These obstacles can remove with help of Abhyas...

In our dialogues over the nature of archetypes, essence, psyche, and world, I further respond to Erik Goodwyn’s recent foray into establishing an ontological position that not only answers to the mind-body problem, but further locates the source of Psyche on a cosmic plane. His impressive attempt to launch a neo-Jungian metaphysics is based on the principle of cosmic panpsychism that bridges...

In this paper, I explore the thesis according to which ipseity cannot be conceived of without acknowledging a radical absence and alterity in its very core that makes it possible. To develop this thesis, I draw on Levinas’ reading of Descartes and Marion’s reading of Augustine. After a brief introductory part on what we could call, with Marc Richir’s term, the symbolic tautology of ipseity, I...

Recent neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that spontaneous brain activity exhibits rich spatiotemporal structure that can be characterized as the exploration of a repertoire of spatially distributed patterns that recur over time. The repertoire of brain states may reflect the capacity for consciousness, since general anesthetics suppress and psychedelic drugs enhance such dynamics. However,...

Creativity studies has focused on creative thinking processes, problem-solving, and innovation, while the embodied dimensions of creativity have remained a tangential thread. In part, this is due to the challenge of running original, quantitative experiments in the embodied and performing arts. At a more paradigmatic level, it is also due to the valuing of cognition over embodiment that...
