Descartes' dualistic conception expelled the incorporeal from matter and it has been misunderstood for centuries. This article begins by reflecting on the importance of materialism for science. Next, arguments of the dualist doctrine related to physics, its materialism and mechanism are examined. Finally, human biology, a discipline with peculiar characteristics, since its object is not a merely corporeal being, but an intermingled one, is considered from the perspective of the union. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article addresses the question of the human being status in Descartes, understood as a union of body and soul. After reviewing Marion's last book the need to reformulate the concept of substance to adapt it to the new philosophy is proposed, and it is concluded that the main thing for Descartes reside in presenting a vision of the human being in accordance with the new scientific and philosophical modernity and that is situated, at the same time, within religious orthodoxy.

In the effective history of cartesianism, Mary Astell's reflection on the real self is a significant approach to the problem of defining the soul and its relationship with the body. Accordingly, this work focuses on the viewpoint that this autor has concerning dualism and shows how it has to do with a practical interest: to consolidate a speculative strategy that allows women to become autonomous subjects against the tyranny of custom.

In its beginnings, silent cinema emphasised the expressive and communicative potential of the body by exacerbating gestures and actions. However, current fictional cinema is confronted with an opposite tendency: the passivity of body movement. This study analyses the representation of the body in three films of current silent cinema from a triple perspective: movement, immersion and technology. The results confirm the predominance of the mind over the body. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the importance of thirdness in psychoanalysis, highlighting the role of the father in pregenital configurations. It argues that it is necessary to consider tertiary processes and the binding function in order to understand psychic development. Additionally, it mentions the importance of the analytic third as an object that emerges from the relationship between the analyst and the analysand. A clinical vignette is presented of a patient with schizophrenia who shows difficulties in connecting their body and mind, related to the idea that their mother did not want to be a mother. It also mentions the importance of establishing boundaries and clarifications in the relationships between analysts and patients. [Extracted from the article]

Psychotherapy with adolescents is the experience of a journey through the complex paths of self-definition. What happens in the minds of young people who have lived with disabilities since childhood? Therapy is filled with experiences full of pain and anger for a body and mind that do not allow you to be as you would like. The acceleration of socialization experiences amplifies experiences like a sounding board, making them always feel out of time with respect to each other. The work aims to underline how the mechanisms of separation-individuation are immediately influenced by specific needs and by the patient's clinical picture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper, based on qualitative interviews realized between 2014 and 2022 with 36 Central American migrant women captured by drug cartels when they transited through Mexico, aims to examine the different repertories used by criminal organizations to capture, exploit, and subject the victims to a condition of sexual slavery. It is concluded that criminal groups have developed four different repertories, which aim to tame the body and mind of the slaves to achieve total submission: kidnapping, deception, recruitment in the country of origin and extortion. Inside these organizations the roles of victim and perpetrator are interchangeable, and enslaved women are not always passive victims, but some rescue themselves using both astuteness and brute force.

Over the past two decades, a wide array of research has been conducted to elucidate the therapeutic effects of psilocybin on the human body and mind. One of the purposes of this article is to show no exclusive opposition between science and spirituality. For this purpose, it is important to reflect critically on the conceptual frameworks used (psychedelics, hallucinogens, entheogens, neurotropics, among others) but also on the role played by the psychoactive compounds involved in the evolutionary process, in this case, the psilocybin fungi. This research aims to inform, based on a bibliographic analysis, about the role that the fungi Psilocybe spp. have had in the evolution of humankind and to carry out a critical analysis of their cultural uses. One of the specific topics is to examine the role that the ritual and therapeutic uses of psilocybin mushrooms may have played in the development of language. For example, the cultural significance of songs, prayers, and incantations is expressed in the ritual and/or ceremonial use of language, which is seen as a means of contacting ancestors and sacred entities. This research aims to argue that the consumption of psilocybin mushrooms may have contributed to "expanding" the mind of our ancestors by exerting selective pressure on the evolution of human thought. Finally, we will explain some of the therapeutic potential that psilocybin has to treat various mental disorders through rituals, psychotherapies, and psychiatric treatments, among others.

The overlapping union: nature-body-mind-soul-spirit- God; it denotes a sentipensante quality of the conception of the human being that makes it privileged of the other animals. In the present investigation, transepistemes of the complex conception of the human being were supported: nature-body-mind-soulspirit- God as a research objective. Located in the lines of research: Planetary decoloniality-complexity in relinkage and transepistemologies of knowledgeknowledge and transcomplex transmethodologies. Framework where we imbricate an exquisite complexity of the human being that must be revealed in the planetary decoloniality. We go through the moments: analytical, empirical and propositional. In the latter, anthropoethics is our action in the recivilization of humanity as one of the transepistemic axes of what it is to be a human individual; autonomous and dependent individual. The compassionate essence as another transepistemic axis that transgresses attacking ourselves insofar as we feel that nature is nature, we defend it from our own insanity. Transcendence, that is a transepisteme that issues answers to the question: how does the human being want to transcend? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the history of music there are mystical figures or characters that through rituals and ceremonies full of sounds, songs and dance have been leading different human groups through different emotional and spiritual states. These figures are often called sorcerers or shamans, a term that refers to "the quality of diviner, mediator or healer", i.e., a chosen being; it defines those who invoke powers through the mind and body, which music regulates and merges. This definition presented by González R (2008) in his book "El mundo en el oído" evidences an alliance between the uncertain and music: the magical. These figures could it be present in the cities of the 21st century? Where would we place this character? During the 20th century, the presence of music, its technological development and reproducibility, and the appearance of multiple musical genres changed the way of approaching and enjoying it. Thus, it is how towards the decade of the 50's a figure began to become popular that was linking different musical samples through the radio, live performances, etc.; that were influencing through the sound to the listeners. In this way, the following essay addresses the figure of the DJ as the one who leads, connects and communicates different individualities under a common sound rituality that besides exalting emotions creates alternative spaces of connection and timeless catharsis, that is to say, a shamanic experience in the present.

This paper examines the affective, emotional, and ideological questions raised by the practice of evidentiary torture (basanos) as necessity (anangkê). It proposes that competing ideas about its truth-value in Athenian forensic oratory reflect a degree of ambivalence sufficient to indicate that the Athenians (can) recognize the inherent unreliability of the slave's tormented body and mind to reveal the truth. In Prometheus Bound, the torture of Prometheus is dramatized as brutal coercion by Zeus' authoritarian state and set against the 'coercion' exercised by the bonds of kinship and emotional attachment. As such it engenders unbending anger on both sides and fails to coerce Prometheus to speak. The juxtaposition of the two genres establishes the unreliability of torture for extracting information along with a recognition that the criteria of exclusion for rendering bodies torturable are arbitrary, as are the rights they help maintain in the interest of Athenian exceptionalism. Fully embracing these recognitions would necessitate a new politics of care and fundamental reorganization of the civic community to expand 'kinship' and the bonds that compel mutual recognition and political inclusion. The paper closes by turning to the use of torture by the CIA in the context of the American war on terror to elucidate the persistence of discourses of necessity in contemporary politics of righteous anger and brings forth similar misrecognitions in the interest of American exceptionalism.

Various disciplines and feminist epistemologies have highlighted the deterministic biases permeating the predominant scientific discourse. Nevertheless, I consider that none of the criticisms problematizes the cause-effect logic structuring physical and symbolic gender relations. In this respect it is naturalized a temporal linearity is that prioritizes biological aspects over typically gendered behaviors, such as aggression and competition. This naturalization results from insufficiently problematizing the mind-body relationship in Gender Studies. I propose a cross between Donald Davidson’s concept of event and anomalous monism and certain contributions from the new feminist materialisms, and argue that there is a temporal synchronization between our biological and psychological states. At the same time, I highlight the irreducibility of mental aspects. I conclude that interpreting gendered behaviors in this way permits an ontology of the body that dilutes the cause-effect logic, an androcentric logic inherited from modern science and predicated on an inherently cis-Heteronormative biologism.

Purpose: To review whether the criticisms commonly made of evolutionary psychology, the four fallacies of pop evolutionary psychology, can be applied to the program of cultural evolution.   Methodology: Philosophy’s own method of conceptual analysis and logical consistency of argumentsis followed. Results: The program called cultural evolution, in the version we reviewed, is a program of pop cultural evolution because it shares the same criticisms made to pop evolutionary psychology.  Limitations: Future work should assess whether the criticisms of evolutionary psychology are really correct, and whether these criticisms would affect both pop evolutionary psychology as well as the pop cultural evolution program in the same way.  Main findings: Both pop evolutionary psychology and pop cultural evolution share the following central claims: a) the cognitive, and distinctively human mechanisms that enable the propagation and stability of culture are genetically fixed and inherited; b) the circumstances under which our species evolved provide us with various heuristic ideas for hypothesizing how our minds and bodies function today; and c) the basic components of the mind are evolutionarily ancient.

The purpose of this article is to show that the conceptualization of eroticism has not allowed the overcoming of the historical dichotomy between the soul and the body, a split that has hampered the understanding of it as a human phenomenon that dimensions man in all his integrality. Because of this, in the first place, a historical-theoretical sketch will be made of the different meanings that eroticism has had, beginning with the philosophical and literary reflections that have arisen in relation to Eros from Greece to the 20th century, in pursuit of to reveal what it is, what it is not and what it could become. Next, it will be evident how eroticism has been approached from two traditional positions that have been mutually exclusive; the moralist or Christian and the immoralist or transgressive, to expose how in each of these positions a perspective of eroticism biased solely as a spiritual or carnal practice has been weighed.

This paper proposes a theoretical model of play therapy that blends developmental neurobiology perspectives with tenets of body psychotherapy. The author suggests that the current application of neurodevelopmental principles in play therapy can be bolstered by somatic interventions that foster integration between the body and mind of the developing child. The topics of regulation, attunement, and interoception are explored from a somatic lens, and therapeutic applications are considered. This paper sets forth an integrative, trans-theoretical approach of incorporating body psychotherapy principles in the playroom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the psycho-anthropological matrix that cries out the relationships between body/hate and their forms of expression in Latin American Neopopulism. Its problematization is part of three assumptions: 1) hatred is an affection that constitutes the human psyche and a symptomatic manifestation of the historical exception of the body; 2) the human body is a production of sovereign power, and 3) because hatred is an affection that nests in the body makes symptoms in the agonistic social space that binds the subject with himself and others. The affection to explore in the elusive domain of the human psyche is hatred, its emergence and meaning in the populist phenomenon, and our goal is to examine in what sense hatred can be understood as a symptom of the political. The unity of analysis considered is the relationship between the charismatic leader and its bases, in particular the use of the term people, significant that invokes other senses as rational/emotional, illustrated/plebeian, civilized/barbaric, cult/popular, senses that by their antagonistic differential relationship deepen the elevation of affectivity and intellectual coertion as Freud proposes with regard to collective psychology.

Through a case study, the article analyzes how the practice of sexual assault is a way to pressure indigenous people to leave their territories. It is discussed how some aspects of the O'dami worldview are related to embodied cognition. The study methodology is qualitative and ethnographic, consisting mainly of in-depth interviews. The analysis departs from an interdisciplinary approach between anthropology and cognitive sciences. The results show that O'dami culture establishes a link between body, soul, and nature. It is concluded that to analyze violence against indigenous women and girls, it is necessary to do so in an integral manner, including cultural dimensions. The main limitation was the insecurity that prevails in the studied region, which prevented visits to the community. Therefore, interviews were conducted in the city of Chihuahua.

The purpose of this essay is to show some points of agreement and disagreement between Aristotle’s theory of the soul and some contemporary discussions of the mind. First, I discuss some important aspects of Aristotle’s psychological model. In order to clarify his argument, I will show the value of the basic Aristotelian metaphysical principles (matter-form, potentiality-act) in the psychological domain. Then I shall return to the discussion of some contemporary readings of the Aristotelian psychology and try to show why, at least some aspects of such psychology, can still be taken seriously and why (following the labels usually employed in the contemporary philosophy of mind) it can be read from different perspectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper it is argued that perezhivanie (i.e., lived experience), understood as dynamic symbolic-affective units, which irreducibly includes the individual-context producing psychological, social and cultural experiences, allows to overcome some traditional dualisms based on cartesian legacy between mind and body, individual and society or intelligence-cognition versus emotion. It is assumed, in that regard, the need to understand life experiences as unfinished, unpredictable, and creative synthesis between the developing person and the environment. Putting the focus on learning, it is presented two contemporary approaches that reinforce this idea: the transactional psychology and the theory of subjectivity. According to the first one, the reality is defined as "event/processes" in an ontology of life as a constant movement and change rather than of composed by fixed "things/entities". Regarding the second one, it is proposed a new ontology of subjectivity where the constant movement of lived experiences is understood as processes and symbolic-emotional organizations that are generated by human being, thus being qualitatively different processes from psyche. Both approaches are discussed in the context of an unfinished Vygotskian project on the elaboration of a psychology of human experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
