Wissenschaftliche Sammelbände sind oft teuer. Das Mainzer „Open Mind“-Projekt stellt deshalb eine ganze Textsammlung zu Geist und Bewusstsein frei ins Netz. Es ist eine umfangreiche und anregende Gedankenspende.
Thx FAZ, vl. habt ihr ja auch manchmal Lust auf schräge Studien.
Ich bin jedenfalls hellauf begeistert. :D
I outline a framework for conceptualizing how science can draw on individuals’ first-person experience in order to explicate those experiences within the necessarily third-person perspective of science. I then show how this approach can illuminate one of the most private yet ubiquitous aspects of mental life: mind-wandering. Finally and most speculatively, I attempt to tackle the enduring ontological tensions that emerge from the disparities between the first- versus third-person perspectives. Specifically, I suggest that the present prevailing third-person perspective of material reductionism fails to adequately account for the first-person experience of subjectivity, the flow of time, and the present. While I argue that these differences are an intrinsic property of each perspective, and thus irreconcilable from the vantage of either, I raise the possibility of a meta-perspective in which these clashes might be better accommodated. Toward this end, I speculatively suggest that experience, the flow of time, and the unique quality of “now” might be accommodated by the postulation of a subjective dimension or dimensions of time.http://open-mind.net/papers/bridging-the-objective-subjective-divide-towards-a-meta-perspective-of-science-and-experience
Mein persönlicher Favorit bisher, klingt nach ner spannenden Lektüre.
Und es gibt noch einiges zu entdecken:
