A key claim that Alexander Wendt makes in his book Quantum Mind and Social Science: Unifying Physical and Social Ontology is that he is not using the 'quantum' as a metaphor.Nor is he drawing analogies either.He argues that he is constructing a quantum theory of the human subject and social structures through a quantum-theoretic explanation of consciousness undergirded by a panpsychist...

In this study, I investigate Ernst Cassirer’s analysis of the mythos (or the world of mythos) by focusing on his system of symbolic forms. I adopt his conception of mythos to reveal the influence of forms of mythical consciousness on the emergence of language. To that extend, I compare language paradigms of Cassirer with Chomsky. When I argue that Chomsky’s theory has difficulty to explain the...

The goal of this article is to review some aspects of brain anatomy and neurophysiology that are important for consciousness, and which hopefully may be of benefit to philosophers investigating the conscious mind.

This paper discusses the issues surrounding voluntary action control in terms of two models that have emerged in empirical research into how our human conscious capabilities govern and control voluntary motor actions.

While many studies have linked prediction errors and event related potentials at a single processing level, few consider how these responses interact across levels. In response, we present a factorial analysis of a multi-level oddball task - the local-global task - and we explore it when participants are sedated versus recovered. We found that the local and global levels in fact interact. This...

The relationship among self, mind and brain is not clearly known. Self’s subjective experiences of perception and cognition of words, feelings, thoughts etc. is supported by the integrity of human brain. The relationship between the self and the human brain activity is not understood. Recent experimental evidence suggests that the neural correlate of consciousness is located in certain parts of...

One of the main aims of contemporary philosophy of mind is to explain the nature and functioning of the mind in the physical world. Epicurus addresses two questions that link back to the mind-body problem. The first concerns the composition of the soul and its functioning with respect to the body. The second question concerns the nature and function of mental states, such as memories, in...

The author focuses on the key movements and themes that occupied philosophical attention over the course of the last 100 years. According to psychological behaviorists, psychology is best understood not as a science of mind but as a science of behavior. In...
