Abstract

Examining Mystical and Psychedelic Experiences, as old as humanity itself, in a manner consistent with their nature, can open doors not only for understanding the universe but also for giving it meaning. The philosophical analysis of these states, which create special states of consciousness for solving the problem of the source of consciousness, is important. Because exceptional situations that go beyond routine in solving any problem may contain important clues for the solution of the problem. This study, which I started based on this basic logic, has gone beyond the solution of the problem of consciousness and directed towards answering the most fundamental questions of ontology. In the introduction section, I provide brief overviews related to the topic of Mystical and Psychedelic Experiences, including scientific studies on psychedelics and brain entropy. In the next chapter, I will attempt to reach a holistic philosophy to solve the problem of consciousness by evaluating scientific studies and philosophical theses about the levels of consciousness in living things. In the last chapter, I will examine some of the answers developed by mystical-philosophical-religious disciplines throughout human history and I will further mature the holistic philosophy that I based on in the previous chapter.

BİLİNÇ SORUNSALININ ÖZDEN OLUŞ YASASIYLA ANALİZİ

Abstract

İnsanlık kadar eski olan Mistik ve Psikedelik Deneyimlerin doğasına uygun bir şekilde incelenmesi, yalnızca evreni anlamak için değil, ona anlam kazandırmak için de kapılar açabilir. Bilincin kaynağı sorununun çözümü için özel bilinç durumları yaratan bu durumların felsefi analizi önemlidir. Çünkü herhangi bir sorunun çözümünde rutinin dışına çıkan istisnai durumlar, sorunun çözümüne yönelik önemli ipuçları içerebilmektedir. Bu temel mantıktan yola çıkarak başladığım bu çalışma, bilinç sorununun çözümünün ötesine geçerek ontolojinin en temel sorularını yanıtlamaya yönelmiştir. Giriş bölümünde, psychedelic ve beyin entropisi üzerine yapılan bilimsel çalışmaları içeren Mistik ve Psychedelic Deneyimler konusuyla ilgili kısa genel bakışlara yer veriyorum. Bir sonraki bölümde canlılardaki bilinç düzeyleriyle ilgili bilimsel çalışmaları ve felsefi tezleri değerlendirerek bilinç sorununu çözmeye yönelik bütüncül bir felsefeye ulaşmaya çalışacağım. Son bölümde ise insanlık tarihi boyunca mistik-felsefi-dini disiplinlerin geliştirdiği bazı cevapları inceleyeceğim ve bir önceki bölümde temel aldığım bütünsel felsefeyi daha da olgunlaştıracağım.
