Psychonauts – Neuroscience & Metaphysics: Consciousness Studies

Psychedelics have long been stigmatized. With the recent psychedelic renaissance, their therapeutic potential has been rediscovered. This renewed interest in the psychedelic perspective has uncovered a remarkable blind spot in Western thought. Namely, the rich and impactful role psychedelics have played in shaping history, from early shamanism, to the Rig Veda, and modern philosophy.

The phenomenal accounts of psychonauts hint at a radically different metaphysics one would expect from a sober waking state of consciousness. Finally, what does the neuroscience of psychedelics teach us?
