"Concepts are fundamentally determined by their relations to one another, so it’s hard to tinker with them in isolation."

In this review, Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes questions whether naturalism can adequately explain experiences of unity, transcendence, and meaning revealed through psychedelic states. Through debates on consciousness, predictive processing, and metaphysical insight, Sjöstedt-Hughes argues that psychedelic states expose unresolved philosophical problems surrounding mind and reality. He ultimately suggests that psychedelics may expand philosophical inquiry itself.
