Psychological Faces of Living Consciousness: Theory, Experiments and Practice, (Hardcover)

<p>This book offers a bold and interdisciplinary exploration of living consciousness, a dynamic, participatory mode of the mind which influences perception, morality, and human development far more deeply than conventional theories allow. This work asks: what if consciousness is not merely a passive witness to reality, but an active force that shapes the world we inhabit? </p><p>The first part of the book examines how consciousness constructs subjective reality and how applied psychology and psychotherapy harness this constructive power in practice. It shows how the concept of living consciousness reframes long standing challenges in moral behavior and opens new pathways for thinking about artificial intelligence, agency, and responsibility. The second turns to development, cognition, and culture. It reveals how living consciousness transforms our understanding of executive function, becomes a measurable subject in experimental psychology, and emerges gradually in children as they learn to navigate inner and outer worlds. Education is presented as the cultivation of living consciousness, while magical participation (a mode of connection beyond causality, correlation, or symbolism) offers a fresh lens on how humans relate to each other and to the world. Clear, integrative, and provocative, this book invites readers to rethink what consciousness is, what it does, and why it matters for the future of humanity and intelligent systems.</p>
