This chapter identifies and highlights aspects of Buddhist thought that Zhu Xi appropriated and adapted to bolster and develop his philosophy of mind. The author argues that even though Zhu Xi repudiated the Buddhism he had been trained in as a youth, he continued to mirror many Buddhist doctrines as he responded to agendas already well-established in Buddhist circles. The chapter’s focus is...

이성을 순수의식과 동일시하는 철학의 고전적 정의는 문제가 많다. 우리는 정서는 물론 신체와 무의식도 이성에 포함시키면서 마음 개념을 확대해서 이해할 필요가 있다. 인간이 비합리적 행동을 하는 이유는 뇌가 의식 활동과 무의식적인 것 을 포괄하면서 신체적 기반 위에서 작동하기 때문이다. 그러므로 비합리성은 이성과 대립하는 것이 아니라 이성 자체에서 기인한다고 말해야 할 것이다. 프로이트가 말하는 자아의 방어 작용과 라캉의 상상계는 자아와 이성이 비합리적인 행동의 실 질적 원인이라는 것을 보여준다. 그러므로 비합리성과 합리성을 통일적으로 바라보면서 이성에 대해 새롭게 이해해야 한다. 뇌 과학은 무의식을 인간이 환경에 적응하고 살아갈 수 있도록 자동화되어 진화한 기억과 적응 시스템으로 규정한다. 하지 만...

Abstract A mismatch between top-down expectations and incoming sensory information is thought to be associated with hallucinations across a range of neuropsychiatric disorders. In Parkinson’s disease with visual hallucinations, abnormal activity within the default network, and its pattern of connectivity with early visual regions, has been identified as a potential pathological source of the...

Abstract When at rest, our mind wanders from thought to thought in distinct mental states. Despite the marked importance of ongoing mental processes, it is challenging to capture and relate these states to specific cognitive contents. In this work, we employed ultra-high field functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and high-density electroencephalography (EEG) to study the ongoing...

Ecstasy/3,4 Methylenedioxymethamphetamine is a popular recreational drug that is a potent indirect monoaminergic agonist that has structural similarities to mescaline and amphetamine. It is presumed that interfering with regulatory serotonin signalling with chronic ecstasy use may result in psychobiological harm. This chapter reviews evidence from studies assessing mood, cognition, pain, sleep...

The texts of Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) are known for their meticulously measured language, a quality that leads many readers to pass over his work. it is often relegated to the margins of thought as ‘nonsense’ or elusive in meaning. this short piece attempts to offer a partial elucidation on some key themes of Jacques Derrida’s 1968 essay, “Différance.” This essay first contrasts différance,...

Busy daily lives and ongoing distractions often make people feel disconnected from their bodies and experiences. Guided attention to self can alleviate this disconnect as in focused-attention meditation, in which breathing often constitutes the primary object on which to focus attention. In this context, sustained breath awareness plays a crucial role in the emergence of the meditation...

Physicalism is the most widely accepted metaphysical view today. The thesis of physicalism, however, seems unable to adequately explain the existence and nature of consciousness. Moreover, the thesis is not itself a scientific finding but must be characterized as a metaphysical assumption. Hence, there are strong reasons to explore alternatives to the physicalist view. While metaphysical theses...
