Summary Discussions on soul origins are perceived as antiquated at best. However, there is a recent resurgence of interest in the nature and origins of the mind. This is due in part to the recent developments on the nature of “emergent” properties and/or substances in the contemporary literature on the philosophy of mind. As a contribution to this discussion, I examine the two most prominent...

Religious experience is very common in the population and there are many studies of mystical or religious experience. There is as yet no explanation of religious experience that satisfies both those who have had the experiences and those who seek a scientific basis for them. The problem for neuropsychiatry is that there appears to be no place in the brain for consciousness or mind. The chapter...

Contemporary philosophical research on emotions has focused on their intentionality, in particular on the specific intentional work done by feeling (“feeling-towards”, in Peter Goldie’s positive phrasing, as opposed to a tendency to “over-intellectualize” emotions, that is, to explain them in terms of beliefs and desires, or to reduce them to purely subjective states or qualia). But is there...

Dance as a form of expression of the embodied consciousness has been a part of phenomenological considerations for some decades now, thanks to key works such as those by Sheets-Johnstone.

Abstract Neutral monism aims at solving the hard problem of consciousness by positing entities that are neither mental nor physical. Benovsky has recently argued for the slightly different account that, rather than being neutral, natural entities are both mental and physical by having different aspects, and then argued in favour of an anti‐realist interpretation of those aspects. In this essay,...

Paranoia is the most common symptom of psychosis but paranoid concerns occur throughout the general population. Here, we argue for an evolutionary approach to paranoia across the spectrum of severity that accounts for its complex social phenomenology — including the perception of conspiracy and selective identification of perceived persecutors — and considers how it can be understood in light...

Previous studies have shown that spontaneous fluctuations in prestimulus fMRI activity can predict trial-by-trial fluctuations in the perception of identical stimuli (Boly et al., 2007; Hesselmann et al., 2008, 2010; Sadaghiani et al., 2009; Rahnev et al., 2012; Pajani et al., 2015), yet such activity on its own does not seem to lead to conscious perception, even when awareness is carefully...

The proposed methodological research is devoted to the creation of an updated version of the consciousness metatheory by intellectual means of its original version reconstruction (M. K. Mamardashvili, O. M. Pyatygorskiy, M. Yu. Savelyeva) in the format of the philosophical and scientific-humanitarian dimensions combination of metatheorizing with the help of the involvement of conscious and...

This paper uses instances from literature covering a broad spectrum of Indian philosophies, art, medicine and practices—attempts to offer the components of a psychology that is rooted in transformative and transpersonal consciousness. Psychology, in this instance, refers to a systematic study of mind, behavior, and relationship, rather than the formal Western discipline as such. In the Indian...

In-depth, semi-structured interviews of six administrators from different ethnic backgrounds and diverse educational...
