Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Commenting on Professor Cass Sunstein's work is a daunting task. There is simply so much of it. Professor Sunstein produces scholarship at a rate that is faster than I can consume it. Scarcely an area of law has failed to feel his impact. One cannot today write an article on administrative law, free speech, punitive damages, Internet law, law and economics, separation of powers, or animal rights law without addressing one or more of Sunstein's papers. And his work is typically not a mere footnote. Sunstein has changed how scholars think about each of these areas of law. More broadly, …
The Emerging New Human Being, The Culture-In-The-Self, And Ahp's New Multidimensional Intercultural Initiative, Carroy U. Ferguson
The Emerging New Human Being, The Culture-In-The-Self, And Ahp's New Multidimensional Intercultural Initiative, Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
The emerging New Human Being will need to explore and come to terms with a phenomenon, operating deeply, uniquely, and diversely at a core level of all human beings on the planet. I call this phenomenon the “culture-in-the-Self,” a term coined some years ago by cofounders of Interculture Inc. What we commonly think of as culture is just the surface of this phenomenon, often appearing outwardly in the diverse “forms” of cultural scripts, beliefs, values, behaviors, and customs). I want to call attention to what goes on beneath surface culture(s), and how AHP intends to play a primary role in …
A Primary Human Challenge, Carroy U. Ferguson
A Primary Human Challenge, Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
We may ask why, at both the individual and collective levels, it has seemed so difficult for us to choose to evolve our human games with Joy. There is no one answer for such a question, for each of us has the gift of free will. I will suggest, however, that built into our human games is what I call a primary human challenge. That primary human challenge is a dynamic tension, flowing from our creative urge for the freedom “to be” who we really are in our current physical form, and simultaneously to embrace our responsibility for our Being-ness.
Sport As The “Opiate Of The Masses”: College Football In The American South, Eric Bain-Selbo
Sport As The “Opiate Of The Masses”: College Football In The American South, Eric Bain-Selbo
Philosophy & Religion Faculty Publications
Karl Marx famously describes religion as the “opiate of the masses.” Marx argues that religion is an ideological tool that legitimates and defends the interests of the dominant, wealthy classes in the population. It does so in part by placating the poor and exploited classes. Faced with an arduous and seemingly unjust life in this world, the poor and exploited at least can look forward to a more perfect existence in the afterlife. To reach that afterlife, however, one must peacefully and quietly persevere through life’s tribulation—respecting the life, liberty, and (especially) private property of others. In this way, religion …

Vision For "A New Human Being" And A "Human Synergistic Movement": A New Humanistic Movement Aligned With Transformational Archetypal Energies, Carroy U. Ferguson
Vision For "A New Human Being" And A "Human Synergistic Movement": A New Humanistic Movement Aligned With Transformational Archetypal Energies, Carroy U. Ferguson
Carroy U "Cuf" Ferguson, Ph.D.
In previous writings, I spoke of the “Path of the Bridger: AHP’s Role in Co-Creating a New Reality for Human Togetherness and the Evolution of Consciousness,” “The Voices of Transformational Archetypal Energies: The Psychic Energy behind AHP’s Mission,” and “The Gift and Challenge of ‘Free Will’: The Connection to Transformational Archetypal Energies.” I wanted to remind us of how and why AHP came into being as a “Mother Organization,” arguably to give birth to an organized focus on validating the dignity of the Human Spirit, maximizing Human Potential, and planting seeds for Well Being and the Evolution of Consciousness.

Perspectives On Social Cognition, Leslie Marsh, Christian Onof
Perspectives On Social Cognition, Leslie Marsh, Christian Onof
Leslie Marsh
No longer is sociality the preserve of the social sciences, or ‘‘culture’’ the preserve of the humanities or anthropology. By the same token, cognition is no longer the sole preserve of the cognitive sciences. Social cognition (SC) or, sociocognition if you like, is thus a kaleidoscope of research projects that has seen exponential growth over the past 30 or so years. That so many disciplines now invoke the term ‘‘social cognition,’’ shouldn’t tempt one into thinking that they are all denoting the same idea. On the contrary, with such methodologically and perspectivally diverse interests involved, there is every chance that …

Naming The Pain And Guiding The Care: The Central Tasks Of Diagnosis, Donald D. Denton
Naming The Pain And Guiding The Care: The Central Tasks Of Diagnosis, Donald D. Denton
Donald Denton
In my prior volume on diagnosis I identified two themes in diagnosis that would need attention: the continued professionalization of religious care and the continued spiritualization of secular care. The challenge for religious providers of relational care would be to find a unified language of diagnosis with which they could communicate among themselves and also speak effectively with the wider community of human care. The challenge in the secular clinical community was somewhat similar, growing out of the culture’s emerging desire for care that includes sensitivity to spiritual values: finding a nosology for diagnosis that would honor the dilemmas of …
Ethics In Experimentation, Donelson R. Forsyth
Ethics In Experimentation, Donelson R. Forsyth
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
Experimentation in the social sciences, by its very nature, requires researchers to manipulate and control key aspects of the social setting so as to determine what effect, if any, these manipulations have on the people in that setting. Such studies, although unmatched in terms of their scientific yield, nonetheless raise questions of ethics: Do researchers have the moral right to conduct experiments on their fellow human beings? What practices are unacceptable and what procedures are allowable? Can standards be established to safeguard the rights of participants?
Espousing Interactions And Fielding Reactions: Addressing Laypeople's Beliefs About Genetic Determinism, David S. Moore
Espousing Interactions And Fielding Reactions: Addressing Laypeople's Beliefs About Genetic Determinism, David S. Moore
Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research
Although biologists and philosophers of science generally agree that genes cannot determine the forms of biological and psychological traits, students, journalists, politicians, and other members of the general public nonetheless continue to embrace genetic determinism. This article identifies some of the concerns typically raised by individuals when they first encounter the systems perspective that biologists and philosophers of science now favor over genetic determinism, and uses arguments informed by that perspective to address those concerns. No definitive statements can yet be made about why genetic determinism has proven so resilient in the face of empirical evidence pointing up its deficiencies, …
Dredging Up The Past: Lifelogging, Memory And Surveillance, Anita L. Allen
Dredging Up The Past: Lifelogging, Memory And Surveillance, Anita L. Allen
All Faculty Scholarship
The term “lifelog” refers to a comprehensive archive of an individual's quotidian existence, created with the help of pervasive computing technologies. Lifelog technologies would record and store everyday conversations, actions, and experiences of their users, enabling future replay and aiding remembrance. Products to assist lifelogging are already on the market; but the technology that will enable people fully and continuously to document their entire lives is still in the research and development phase. For generals, edgy artists and sentimental grandmothers alike, lifelogging could someday replace or complement, existing memory preservation practices. Like a traditional diary, journal or day-book, the lifelog …
Character Counts! Incentive Program : Implementation And Evaluation, Julie A. Rouse
Character Counts! Incentive Program : Implementation And Evaluation, Julie A. Rouse
Graduate Research Papers
In order to better serve the school population, the school counselor is often called upon to deliver the counseling curriculum to all students. Data often drives the curriculum the counselor will present to the students. As a result of a program audit and perception data, a school counselor at West Elementary chose to implement a character education piece to the curriculum. Furthermore, an incentive program was added to encourage positive behavior and to recognize student achievement. Due to the age of accountability, the school counselor created a survey to assess the program. In addition to the survey, other sources of …
The Phenomenon Of Amoralism: An Investigation Of The Cognitive And Emotive Roots, Andrei G. Zavaliy
The Phenomenon Of Amoralism: An Investigation Of The Cognitive And Emotive Roots, Andrei G. Zavaliy
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
An amoralist is defined as a person who rejects the claims of moral reasons to special authority, and systematically acts without regard to the generally accepted moral standards. A psychopath can be seen as a paradigm case of an extreme amoralist, although the less severe cases of selective amoralists are considered. The research into the typical behavioral pattern, motivational structure, and the value system of psychopaths can shed light on at least three aspects related to the analysis of the moral agency. First, it can help elucidating the emotive and cognitive conditions necessary for moral performance. Secondly, it can provide …
Brief History Of Transpersonal Psychology, Stanislav Grof
Brief History Of Transpersonal Psychology, Stanislav Grof
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
The International Transpersonal Association (ITA) was formed in 1978 for the purposes
of promoting education and research in transpersonal subjects, as well as sponsoring
global conferences for the international transpersonal community. The association was
subsequently dissolved in 2004, but is now in the process of being reactivated and revitalized.
As background for this development, this paper reviews the history of ITA including its
international conferences and noteworthy presenters, the organization’s definition, strategies,
and specific goals, and details of its contemporary revival.

The Role Of Spirituality In Mental Health Interventions: A Developmental Perspective, Liora Birnbaum, Atton Birnbaum, Ofra Mayseless
The Role Of Spirituality In Mental Health Interventions: A Developmental Perspective, Liora Birnbaum, Atton Birnbaum, Ofra Mayseless
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Th is article presents a four-level developmental description of the extent to which clinicians
apply spirituality in therapy. At the fi rst level, clinicians begin to sense dissonance regarding
their traditional, positivist worldview while conducting conventional psychotherapy, especially
in cases involving life-threatening situations or loss. At the second level, clinicians
open up to the possibility of the existence of a metaphysical reality and to spiritual/transpersonal
beliefs expressed by clients. At the third level, clinicians may cautiously contact this
transcendental reality and seek ways to utilize this dimension to access information relevant
to therapy. At the fourth level, clinicians actively engage …
Dante’S Terza Rima In Th E Divine Comedy: Th E Road Of Th Erapy, Dennis P. Slattery
Dante’S Terza Rima In Th E Divine Comedy: Th E Road Of Th Erapy, Dennis P. Slattery
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Wisdom’s pursuit through symbols, metaphors, poetry, and therapy is a path of indirection,
less available the more one’s pursuit is direct. Wisdom may be gained through particular
processes of knowing, pilgrimages towards the truth of things. Dante’s 14th century poem
engages a new rhyme scheme to further this pursuit of knowing towards wisdom. He called
it terza rima, or third rhyme. Its structure, the essay argues, embodies two movements of the
soul: the journey towards knowing, one which is always bending back in memory, and the
movement of therapy itself, wherein one becomes more conscious by seeing in the present …
The Therapeutic Potentials Of A Museum Visit, Andrée Salom
The Therapeutic Potentials Of A Museum Visit, Andrée Salom
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Museums are safe spaces for the objects they hold and for the persons that visit them, providing environments that can function in therapeutic ways. Within the wide range of objects, there is enough diversity to help guests discover what similarities they have with others as well as what makes them unique as individuals. Within exhibits, individuals can explore themselves through the reactions they have to particular pieces, through the observation of what holds their attention within the environment, and through the awareness and development of their contemplative mind. Museums can introduce transpersonal information, add information to previous transpersonal experiences, and …

Engaging Capital Emotions, Douglas A. Berman, Stephanos Bibas
Engaging Capital Emotions, Douglas A. Berman, Stephanos Bibas
All Faculty Scholarship
The Supreme Court, in Kennedy v. Louisiana, is about to decide whether the Eighth Amendment forbids capital punishment for child rape. Commentators are aghast, viewing this as a vengeful recrudescence of emotion clouding sober, rational criminal justice policy. To their minds, emotion is distracting. To ours, however, emotion is central to understand the death penalty. Descriptively, emotions help to explain many features of our death-penalty jurisprudence. Normatively, emotions are central to why we punish, and denying or squelching them risks prompting vigilantism and other unhealthy outlets for this normal human reaction. The emotional case for the death penalty for child …

What Does It Mean To Live A Fully Embodied Spiritual Life?, Jorge Ferrer
What Does It Mean To Live A Fully Embodied Spiritual Life?, Jorge Ferrer
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
This essay discusses the meaning of embodied spirituality—based on the integration of all
human attributes, including the body and sexuality—and contrasts it with the disembodied
spirituality—based on dissociation and/or sublimation—prevailing in human religious
history. It then describes what it means to approach the body as a living partner with which
to co-create one’s spiritual life, and outlines ten features of a fully embodied spirituality.
The article concludes with some reflections about the past, present, and potential future of
embodied spirituality.
A Peircean Panentheist Scientific Mysticism, Søren Brier
A Peircean Panentheist Scientific Mysticism, Søren Brier
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Peirce’s philosophy can be interpreted as an integration of mysticism and science. In Peirce’s
philosophy mind is feeling on the inside and on the outside, spontaneity, chance and chaos
with a tendency to take habits. Peirce’s philosophy has an emptiness beyond the three worlds
of reality (his Categories), which is the source from where the categories spring. He emphasizes
that God cannot be conscious in the way humans are, because there is no content in
his “mind.” Since there is a transcendental3 nothingness behind and before the categories,
it seems that Peirce had a mystical view on reality with a …
The Buddhist Notion Of Emptiness And Its Potential Contribution To Psychology And Psychotherapy, José M. Tirado
The Buddhist Notion Of Emptiness And Its Potential Contribution To Psychology And Psychotherapy, José M. Tirado
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
A growing number of psychologists now have their practices and theories informed by Buddhist
meditation practices. Th ese practices, however, are themselves deeply informed by the
Buddhist notion of emptiness (śūnyatā). Th is Buddhist concept off ers a rich vein of possibilities
in informing psychology and psychotherapy. Th e present paper examines the development
and potential of this concept for infl uencing these and other areas.
Some Rudimentary Problems Pertaining To The Construction Of An Ontology And Epistemology Of Shamanic Journeying Imagery, Adam J. Rock, Stanley Krippner
Some Rudimentary Problems Pertaining To The Construction Of An Ontology And Epistemology Of Shamanic Journeying Imagery, Adam J. Rock, Stanley Krippner
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Attempts to elucidate the kinds of “thing” or “things” to which the term shamanic journeying
image is referentially linked must grapple with two related questions: what is the fundamental
nature of shamanic journeying images, and how might the origin of a shamanic
journeying image be found? The first question is ontological, concerned with the nature
and essence of shamanic journeying images. In contrast, the second is epistemological and
methodolgical, concerned with how to acquire knowledge of shamanic journeying images.
We demonstrate how inductive and deductive reasoning, the private language argument,
and reification render problematic the resolution of both. Finally, we …

International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Th is article further develops one section by the same name in another article published in
the International Journal of Transpersonal Studies entitled Integral Approach in Transpersonal
Psychotherapy (Boggio Gilot, 2003) by proposing a model of mental suff ering based on
uniting scientifi c psychology with meditative wisdom (e.g., derived from Yoga Vedanta). Th e
role of spiritual vision underlines a wider understanding of the origins of mental suff ering,
including damage from ontological unawareness and egoism, non-ethical factors usually
ignored in psychology. Th ese give rise to destructive poisons of the mind such as pride,
greed, fear, resentment, envy, …
Poetic Leadership, A Territory Of Aesthetic Consciousness And Change, R. Amrit Kasten-Daryanani
Poetic Leadership, A Territory Of Aesthetic Consciousness And Change, R. Amrit Kasten-Daryanani
Antioch University Full-Text Dissertations & Theses
Poetic leadership is a new theoretical construct that views leadership as an activity that unites a lyrical intellect with keenly felt emotion for the purpose of producing changes in the consciousness of self and others. This change begins within the interiority of self, moving surely to broader realms of one's surroundings and society, provoking movement that impacts the developing potential of the individual and the cultural milieu in which they exist. Emotion is the primary trace into consciousness used in this dissertation, which serves to unite experiences of the heart with experiences of the mind. The unification of these disparate …
