Philosophy and Psychedelics
Bloomsbury Academic eBooks January 1, 2022 26 citations
Psychedelic experience opens up new perspectives on fundamental philosophical questions about human experience, ethics, and the metaphysics of mind. This volume argues that the place of psychedelics in society should not be left to medical sciences alone, as psychedelics reveal insights about consciousness, mysticism, dyadic thankfulness, and ways to gain new knowledge. The essays cover Western and non-Western traditions, from analytic philosophy to cross-cultural perspectives, mapping philosophical responses to the surge in cognitive science studies of psychedelic drugs.
