Consciousness Science

Марк Твен умел несколькими словами выразить истинную суть любого явления, охарактеризовать человека или описать ситуацию так, что это становилось афоризмом. Всю жизнь он изучал человечество, бездны его пороков и вершины величия. В своих произведениях Марк Твен смеялся над ним – иронично, зло, с состраданием. Он как будто подносил зеркало и говорил: смотрите, люди, вы вот какие, исправьтесь. Никто вам не поможет: ни царь, ни бог, ни герой, ни демократия. Давайте сами. Предлагаем и вам, дорогие читатели, посмотреться в это зеркало. Приобщиться к искусству размышлять о времени и о себе.

How did humans come to be who we are? In his marvelous, eccentric, and widely lauded book Being a Beast, legal scholar, veterinary surgeon, and naturalist extraordinaire Charles Foster set out to understand the consciousness of animal species by living as a badger, otter, fox, deer, and swift. Now, he inhabits three crucial periods of human development to understand the consciousness of perhaps the strangest animal of all—the human being.

"L'exercice philosophique a pour enjeu l'insaisissable nous privant du délai qui assure la sécurité de la pensée et du discours". Vladimir Jankélévitch. "Rien n'est moins subtil, rien n'est moins systématique au fond que cette vision du monde derrière laquelle se cache une expérience douloureuse. Jamais cette pensée n'est figée, solidifiée dans une rhétorique implacable, au contraire l'oralité confère le jaillissement, la spontanéité, la redite." Françoise Schwab.

Since the election of Scott Walker, Wisconsin has been seen as ground zero for debates about the appropriate role of government in the wake of the Great Recession. In a time of rising inequality, Walker not only survived a bitterly contested recall that brought thousands of protesters to Capitol Square, he was subsequently reelected. How could this happen? How is it that the very people who stand to benefit from strong government services not only vote against the candidates who support those services but are vehemently against the very idea of big government?

Thinkers everywhere are conscious of two things, first, that the region of mystery has never before been so clearly defined, and secondly, that that region can be entered more easily than has hitherto been the case; it may, therefore, perhaps be induced to render up some of its secrets if investigators of all schools pursue their search with determination.

Questo non è un libro di morale, né un grido di dolore o, tanto meno, una lamentazione acritica e dozzinale su come va il mondo. Si tratta, molto più semplicemente, di una sorta di testamento spirituale di un uomo che, giunto alle soglie dei sessant'anni, e con la viva speranza di vivere ancora molto a lungo, fa un bilancio non tanto della propriai vita, quanto della vita in générale, cercando di inserirvi tutto quanto in essa ha appreso. Cioè poche cose.

How can science teach us that animals feel no pain when our common sense observations tell us otherwise? Bernard Rollin offers welcome insight into questions like this in his ground-breaking account of the difficult and controversial issues surrounding the use of animals. He demonstrates that the denial of animal consciousness and animal suffering is not an essential feature of a scientific approach, but rather a contingent, historical aberration that can and must be changed if science is to be both coherent and morally responsible.

Is stress a deadly disease on the rise in modern society? Can mind-body practices from the East help us become well?

Susan Shumsky is a successful author in the new age/spirituality field, writing books on meditation, intuition, prayer, auras, chakras, and the like. But in the 1970s, she was one of only a handful of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s personal attendants and administrators, in India, Switzerland, and elsewhere. Following the teachings of Maharishi displaced Susan’s devotion to the hippie lifestyle, as she learned about meditation and grew spiritually self-aware. Maharishi founded the spiritual movement TM (Transcendental Meditation).

This "bigger mind" - human and machine capabilities working together - has the potential to solve the great challenges of our time. So why do smart technologies not automatically lead to smart results?

Before becoming a father, Chris Gabbard was a fast-track academic finishing his doctoral dissertation at Stanford.
