Transpersonal Gratitude
In this book, Taline Artinian takes a critical look at the existing discussion on dyadic forms of gratitude, from propositional to non-directed, and develops the concept of transpersonal gratitude, which captures the experience of thankfulness for a personally significant good in the absence of a benefactor. The concept of gratitude in philosophy has historically been centred around a triadic experience of gift, giver, and receiver, and it is only in the last two decades that a dyadic conceptualisation has begun to develop. Artinian focuses on the phenomenology and the ethical significance of transpersonal gratitude, to argue that this experience goes beyond mere appreciation or gladness and that its conceptualisation offers a framework for the understanding of gratitude as a virtue. This book also examines transpersonal gratitude as an experience and disposition that shape our engagement with others and with the world at large. By situating it in relation to empathy, humility, and the fostering of a sense of connectedness, it argues for the role of transpersonal gratitude as a key component of the morally good and flourishing life.
The Spectrum of Gratitude Experience
Drawing from current research in psychology, the social sciences, and spirituality, this book presents a comprehensive investigation into the heart of gratitude as it arises within lived experience and its role in nurturing relationships. It explores the range and depth of the emotion experience of gratitude and identifies its relationship with other indicators of wellbeing. New research by the authors reveals gratitude as a feature of transcendence and its connection to higher order experience including spirituality and religion. This book explores the potential for cultivating gratitude as a transformative practice for personal growth, enhancing relationships, and spiritual development.
Philosophy and Psychedelics

What do psychedelics reveal about consciousness? What impact have psychedelics had on philosophy? In this rapidly growing area of study, this is the first volume to explore the philosophy of psychedelic experience, from a range of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives. In doing so, Philosophy and Psychedelics reveals just why the place of psychedelics in our societies should not be left to medical sciences alone, as psychedelic experience opens up new perspectives on fundamental philosophical questions relating to human experience, ethics, and the metaphysics of mind. Mapping a range of philosophical responses to the surge in studies into psychedelic drugs in the cognitive sciences, this go-to volume examines topics including psychedelics and the role of governance; psychedelics and mysticism; what psychedelics can tell us about dyadic thankfulness; and psychedelics as ways to gain new knowledge. Written by leading international scholars, the essays cover Western and non-Western traditions, from analytic philosophy to Zen Buddhism, and discuss a variety of hallucinogens, such as LSD, MDMA, and Ayahuasca, in order to build a much-needed bridge between the rapidly growing scientific research and the philosophy behind psychedelic experience.
