PHL 360 - Mind, Meditation, and Phenomenology

Credits 3
Lecture / 3 hours per week
Requirements: Prerequisite: Semester course in Philosophy or permission of instructor
Study of the intentional structures of meditative states and experiences. The course aims to familiarize students with phenomenological theories of intentionality. A variety of meditative traditions are surveyed in terms of both techniques and outcomes. The debate between constructivists, who believe meditative experiences are always mediated by culture, concepts, and expectations, and perennialists, who deny that all meditative experiences are mediated, is examined.
