Psychedelic Ego-Dissolution

Join us for an enlightening discussion on psychedelic experiences and their astounding effects on self-perception! 🌿✨ Led by renowned philosopher Dan Zahavi and post-doctoral fellow Jason K. Day, this engaging talk will delve into the phenomenon of 'ego-dissolution' or 'ego-death'—concepts indicating a profound loss of self-awareness and identity.

Together, we will investigate various theories of self-consciousness and explore whether achieving radical ego-dissolution is indeed possible through psychedelics like LSD, psilocybin, or mescaline.

This event marks the beginning of the series Psychedelics, Mindfulness, and Our Relationships: Can the Self Change? 🧠👥 Over three illuminating talks, researchers from the Center for Subjectivity Research will examine how psychedelics, mindfulness, and collective experiences might reshape our understanding of self, others, and our place in the world.
