Literary negotiations of grief experiences
Philosophical grief research frequently draws on literary autobiographical grief narratives to motivate or substantiate assumptions about the phenomenology of grief. Yet, this research has not provided detailed analyses of the aesthetic-artefactual and narrative characteristics of these texts. To complement existing research and demonstrate the added benefits of focusing on a given text’s aesthetic and formal dimensions, this article offers a phi…
Introduction
In recent years, philosophical research on the phenomenology of grief has gained momentum. This research shows that social, material, and technological resources in our socio-culturally structured environments shape the structure and unfolding of grief experiences. As new Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have entered our lifeworlds, including chatbots based on Large Language Models and AI-generated virtual environments, new research ques…
What is self-narrative
In recent years, philosophers of mind have explored the relationship between lived embodied experiences and self-narratives in bringing about a sense of self. This relationship has been vividly debated, with no consensus in the field. While some have argued that lived embodied experiences influence, but are not influenced by, self-narratives, others have maintained that lived embodied experiences and self-narratives influence each other across ti…
A Pattern Theory of Scaffolding
The disruption of grief in the technological niche
Recently, philosophical research on grief and the impact of technological resources on its structure and quality has gained momentum. Deathbots, chatbots based on generative Large Language Models that imitate the conversational behaviour of deceased persons, are technological resources that have received wide-spread attention in this context. While some philosophers have argued that deathbots can negatively impact grief experiences, and so the we…
The Epistemic Status of Literary Memoirs in Philosophical Grief Research
Recently, research on grief has gained momentum in phenomenology and philosophy of mind. Grief, it is often assumed, is a temporally extended emotional experience of the irreversible, bereavement-induced loss of a significant person. On one interpretation, philosophical accounts frequently quote grief memoirs as if they were phenomenological evidence for the tenability of assumptions about the occurrence, structure, and unfolding of grief experie…
Narrative gaslighting
Self-narration, many philosophers assume, makes important contributions to our mental lives. Two views on self-narration can be distinguished. On the internalistic view, self-narration unfolds in the secluded mind and does not require overt communication. On the situated view, self-narration often depends on the conversational interaction with an interlocutor. The situated view has many advantages over its internalistic rival, including theoretic…
Imaginaries of Loss
Recently, grief memoirs have gained momentum in the storytelling boom. They have also inspired and shaped current theorising in the philosophy of grief. However, the possibilities and limitations of memoirs for capturing grief experiences have received limited philosophical attention and critical reflection. In redressing this issue, I propose that memoirisation can help navigate and negotiate the recurrent temporal dynamics of grief by offering …
Narrative Scaffolding
What is the relationship between grief and narrative
In a recent article, Ratcliffe and Byrne (2022 Ratcliffe, Matthew, and Eleanor A. Byrne. 2022. “Grief, Self and Narrative.” Philosophical Explorations 25 (3): 319–337. doi:10.1080/13869795.2022.2070241.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) propose a multifactorial phenomenological account of the influence of narrative on grief. Specifically, they argue that certain kinds of narrative can help navigate and negotiate the…
Distributed autobiographical memories, distributed self‐narratives
Richard Heersmink argues that self‐narratives are distributed across embodied organisms and their environment, given that their building blocks, autobiographical memories, are distributed. This argument faces two problems. First, it commits a fallacy of composition. Second, it relies on Marya Schechtman's narrative self‐constitution view, which is incompatible with the distributed cognition framework. To solve these problems, this article develop…
Underlying delusion
What is the relationship between the concepts of the predictive processing theory of brain functioning and the everyday concepts with which people conduct and explain their mental lives? To answer this question, we focus on predictive processing explanations of mental disorder that appeal to false inference. After distinguishing two concepts of false inference, we survey four ways of understanding the relationship between explanations of mental p…

Cognitive Innovation, Cumulative Cultural Evolution, and Enculturation
Cognitive innovation has shaped and transformed our cognitive capacities throughout history. Until recently, cognitive innovation has not received much attention by empirical and conceptual research in the cognitive sciences. This paper is a first attempt to help close this gap. It will be argued that cognitive innovation is best understood in connection with cumulative cultural evolution and enculturation. Cumulative cultural evolution plays a v…
