While empathy is regularly seen as an integral aspect of any meaningful humanistic counseling and psychotherapy, the actual meanings attached to the concept vary widely. Such variance leads to different modalities of application of... more

Modern academia has become too good at producing legitimacy and too weak at carrying correction. This paper argues that the university’s deepest crisis is structural. Academic systems reward publication metrics, citation performance,... more
This paper develops a staunchly moral non-realist account of evaluative language that is often misread as moral commitment. Terms such as arrogance, bias, dogmatism, lack of humility, and strategic self-defeat can be used descriptively or... more
This thesis investigates the systematic degradation of human intelligence and flourishing (eudaimonia) within the structural paradigm of late-stage surveillance capitalism. Modern socioeconomic architectures increasingly conflate... more
The understanding of the self is of paramount significance because as individuals we wonder who we are; where we come from; what the purpose of our life is, and what true happiness and misery entail. Muslim philosophers such as Razi,... more

The writings contained in this critical edition introduce us to a Meinong who has hitherto remained hidden, thereby offering us a fuller picture of his character and thought. The editor's introduction gives an account of Meinong's... more
While acknowledging that no extensive treatment of moral self-knowledge appears in Aquinas's writings, 1 want to show that his psychological treatments of self knowledge do provide material for phenomenologically interesting insights... more

Theories of what it is for a mental state to be conscious must answer two questions. We must say how we're conscious of our conscious mental states. And we must explain why we seem to be conscious of them in a way that's... more

This paper continues the ontological line of Structural Intelligence (SI) by asking one of the oldest and most difficult human questions: what remains when a life ends? Earlier SI work argued that collapse within life is survivable only... more
This paper extends Structural Intelligence (SI) into the macro-structural world of institutions, platforms, public systems, and civilization-scale coordination. Its central claim is simple: a civilization enters occupancy when its major... more
This paper isolates the minimum irreducible backbone of Structural Intelligence (SI). Its central claim is that three domains often treated separately-truth, sentience, and sovereignty-become clearer when they are all read through one... more
This paper builds a bridge between systems theory and Structural Intelligence (SI). Systems theory offers a powerful way of understanding wholes, interdependence, feedback, regulation, adaptation, and self-maintaining organization. SI... more
This paper examines the limits of the cause-and-effect framework as a dominant mode of understanding reality. While causal reasoning has enabled the development of language, science, and structured knowledge, it is argued that this... more
In the metaethical debate on moral internalism and externalism, appeal is constantly made to people's intuitions about the connection between moral judgments and motivation. However, internalists and externalists disagree considerably... more
This formulation might in turn be modified and complicated in various ways. For instance, according to a conditional version of internalism, the connection between moral judgment and motivation holds only if the person fulfills a certain... more
What scholarship usually considers to be the main work of Wittgenstein’s later philosophy, the Philosophical Investigations, is a compilation of remarks Wittgenstein did not publish; the so-called book On Certainty consists of notes he... more
This paper argues that the moral architecture of the MAGA movement, Project 2025, and the Heritage Foundation constitutes a hemispherically partial ethical system that mirrors, in political form, the same left-hemispheric cognitive... more
Western philosophy and Western culture have become trapped in a left-hemispheric mode of consciousness that cannot perceive objective moral truth. The left hemisphere’s cognitive mode—narrow-beam attention, instrumental rationality,... more
In the phenomenological tradition, a state of affairs is described as the objectual correlate of an act of judgement. This understanding of states of affairs is ambivalent in regards to its logical and ontological implications. I explore... more
Der Essay bietet ein klassisches Modell zur Bewusstwerdung der Subjektivität der Welt: nicht als beliebige „Projektion“, sondern als strukturelle Dimension der Wirklichkeit, in der Sinn durch Komposition getragen wird. Im Schnittfeld von... more
Есе пропонує класичну модель усвідомлення суб’єктивності світу: не як довільної «проєкції», а як структурного виміру реальності, у якому смисл утримується композицією. На стику епістемології, герменевтики, естетики та онтології (Erklären... more
Эссе предлагает классическую модель осознания субъективности мира: не как произвольной «проекции», а как структурного измерения реальности, в котором смысл удерживается композицией. На стыке эпистемологии, герменевтики, эстетики и... more
The essay offers a classical model for acknowledging the world’s subjectivity—not as an arbitrary “projection,” but as a structural dimension of reality in which meaning is held by composition. At the intersection of epistemology,... more
Fragility and vulnerability are motifs in both religion and depth psychology. It does not mean that psychology is an evolutionary stage of religion, since these are distinct domains. However, both reflect aspects of human existence that... more
Karl Friston's Free Energy Principle (FEP) has emerged as one of the most ambitious unified theories in cognitive science, proposing that biological systems minimize variational free energy-a measure of the surprise arising from the... more
In: Discover Computing 2024, 27 (46). Recent breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have sparked a wide public debate on the potentialities of AI, including the prospect to evolve into a subject comparable to humans.... more
This paper develops a structural account of ideal existence based on the universal features of consciousness. Consciousness consists of awareness that produces desire, making non-imposition the only moral system consistent with universal... more
This paper considers whether intellectualism about know-how-the view that knowing-how is entirely reducible to propositional knowledge-has the theoretical resources at its disposal to ground a plausible characterisation of the seemingly... more
This paper proposes a multi-disciplinary framework for understanding neurological architecture, psychological wounding, and the conditions required for human flourishing. Organised around Iain McGilchrist's work on the coincidentia... more
近代南京的景观文化展现出三种新颖面向: 首先，在城市建设加速推进的背景下，城市 的游冶空间发生挪移，以秦淮河为代表的传统景观不再为游人所追捧，玄武湖等新兴景观则脱颖而 出，成为民众喜爱的公共空间。其次，因为近代南京的国都属性，意识形态力量介入景观营造，金陵 胜景的文化意涵愈加繁复，成为民族主义的象征符号。再次，因应于摩登交通手段的采用，金陵胜景 的品赏方式从“搜奇揽胜”转变为“走马观花”，城市旅游的节奏和节点呈现出“程式化”的特征，时人... more

Eu distingo entre as formas psicológica e filosófica de situacionismo e analiso o situacionismo filosófico dividindo-o em três partes: o situacionismo atributivo — sua base exegética, dividida em realismo de caráter e globalismo de... more
Recent research suggests that late bilinguals’ decisions might be less influenced by emotiona- lity and be characterized by more logical thinking in a foreign language. This phenomenon has been named the foreign language effect. This... more
