Here, we review the results of Russian and foreign researches that are directed to evaluating the role of gamma waves of brain bioelectric activity in higher mental functions in humans under normal conditions and in neurological and mental diseases. The dynamics of gamma activity is analyzed in processes of consciousness, attention, memory, visual-motor coordination, cognitive activity, and...
Searle offers an account of seeing as a conscious state not constituted by the object(s) seen. I focus in this article on his biological case for this thesis, and argue that the biological considerations he adduces neither establish his own position nor defeat a rival object-inclusive view. I show (among other things) that taking seeing to be a biological state is compatible with its being...
Schleiermacher's concept of feeling of absolute dependence was the starting point for discussions about religious experience among modern scholars. As the purpose of the religious experience debates in the contemporary, analytic philosophy of religion is to provide an empirical argument for the existence of God, many scholars have expected the feeling of absolute dependence in Schleiermacher’s...
[Figure: see text] I will consider the problem of the experience of God in light of the fact that God is not present to consciousness as a phenomenal object. I will present Hegel’s conception of experience in The Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) as a valuable attempt to overcome the restrictions placed upon religious experience by Kant’s definition of experience as “empirical knowledge.” My...

Data were analyzed using a six-step process that yielded six core constituents: (1) Catalysts for transformation; (2) Courses of spiritual conversion; (3) Relationship with God; (4) Receiving the love of God; (5)...
Abstract This paper, through a realist reading of Husserlian phenomenology, aims to explain how the consciousness-sense has access to reality and, in general, to objectivity. There is a ‘strife’ between the essence of a thing and the specific concreteness in which it always becomes manifest, such that the identical object is indicated by changeable predicates, but at the same time always...

The article deals with the question of the possibility of implementing phenomenological project, which is aimed at understanding of the whole content of experience constituted by consciousness. To achieve the goal of transcendental philosophy – a clear understanding of oneself as the subjectivity functioning as primarily source – E. Husserl moves from description of things of the intuited...
