Title: The Philosophy of Psychedelic Transformation
This research addresses the issue of ayahuasca from a philosophical perspective, evaluating the context in which the interest in psychedelics arises within psychiatry and neuroscience. According to this study, psychedelic transformation is seen as an epistemic or spiritual process that can be reconciled with philosophical naturalism.
