    Area of Science:

    • Integrative science, philosophy of science, consciousness studies.

    Background:

    • Historically, science relied on both subjective experience and objective methods.
    • Modern science has increasingly excluded subjectivity, creating a secular analytical paradigm.
    • Recent evidence suggests this exclusion may limit scientific understanding and relevance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the potential for reintegrating subjective elements into scientific methodology.
    • To propose a framework for a 'neo-subjective' science that complements objective approaches.
    • To address the limitations of purely objective paradigms in explaining complex phenomena.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of anomalous physical, biological, and medical phenomena correlated with consciousness.
    • Review of studies on mind/brain relationships, creativity, and human factors in technology.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Conceptual framework development for a holistic, neo-subjective scientific approach.
  • Main Results:

    • Empirical correlations exist between subjective aspects and phenomena not fully explained by objective grounds.
    • Reintegrating subjectivity requires precise definition, measurement, and representation.
    • A neo-subjective science necessitates acknowledging consciousness's role, interdisciplinary metaphors, and revised interpretations of scientific rigor.

    Conclusions:

    • Sterilization of science from subjective experience may be excessive, limiting epistemological reach.
    • A holistic science requires complementarity between subjective and objective aspects.
    • Neo-subjective science offers a path to greater cultural relevance and a more complete understanding of reality.
