From the Collapse of Materialism to the Technology of Consciousness
Philosophy of Mind
What changes when consciousness is understood as the condition within which every experience, model, and form of knowledge appears? Neurophilosophy of Non-Duality is an interdisciplinary investigation into philosophy of mind, the hard problem of consciousness, and the limits of reductive materialism. The book brings neuroscience, predictive processing, self-model theory, phenomenology, contemporary metaphysics, and non-dual thought into dialogue. Its starting point is the explanatory gap between neural activity and subjective experience. The brain integrates information, generates predictions, regulates action, and constructs coherent representations of the self and the world. Yet the presence of first-person experience raises a further question: why is there something it is like to undergo these processes? The analysis develops through engagement with: - Karl Friston, Anil Seth, and Jakob Hohwy on predictive processing, the free-energy principle, and the predictive construction of experience;
- David Chalmers and Daniel Dennett on contrasting interpretations of the problem of consciousness;
- Dan Zahavi on phenomenology, subjectivity, and the first-person structure of experience;
- Bernardo Kastrup and Federico Faggin as contemporary examples of the movement from scientific and philosophical inquiry toward metaphysical reflection. The book examines the relationship between neural correlates and consciousness, perception as a model-mediated construction, the emergence of the sense of agency, and the function of identity as a frame of reference. It also considers analytic idealism, panpsychism, and other consciousness-centered ontologies within contemporary philosophy of consciousness. From this investigation emerge two original ontological proposals. The first is consciousness as an ontological basis: the condition within which the brain, the self, matter, the world, and every scientific description of reality become manifest. The second is the concept of technologies of deconditioning. Non-dual traditions are interpreted through a philosophical category that illuminates the overcoming of automatic identification and the reconfiguration of the individual frame of reference. The two proposals converge within a unified neurophilosophical architecture. Neuroscience describes the construction of perception and identity; phenomenology clarifies the structure of lived experience; ontology addresses the condition that makes the appearance of the brain, the self, and the world possible. A book for readers interested in philosophy of mind, the hard problem of consciousness, consciousness studies, neuroscience, predictive processing, phenomenology, analytic idealism, non-duality, and contemporary metaphysics.
