| 抄録 | This is a study of the epistemological and etiological character of certain mystical experiences: the Pure Consciousness Event (PCE), a wakeful, contentless (non-intentional, objectless) consciousness.The dissertation begins with a review and discussion of the epistemological model and arguments put forward in the "received view" on mysticism--that of Steven Katz, Jerry Gill, Wayne Proudfoot, William Wainwright and others--that all mystical experiences are in whole or in part constructed from the beliefs and concepts which the subject brings to them. This "constructivist" position is shown to have the virtue of highlighting the differences between the thought of mystics of different cultures. But constructivism is criticized as having (1) assumed an unwarranted parallel between mysticism and ordinary (especially sensory) experience; (2) assumed the unproven and implausible claim that all possible forms of consciousness are intentional; (3) committed the fallacy of begging the question concerning certain counter-examples; (4) argued from an unstated and undefended claim of a parallelism between mystical and ordinary experience; and (5) not proven that particular mystical experiences are in fact so constructed. The position cannot elegant account for the novelty of experience for which mysticism is renowned. Furthermore constructivism must also claim that mystical authors are mistaken when they note that language and concepts do not enter into their experiences. Indeed the constructivists must argue that principle strands of an entire tradition (Mahayana Buddhism) are mistaken--which comes to a sophisticated form of special pleading.The Pure Consciousness Event is identified in Buddhist authors (Dogen, Buddhagosha, Paramartha, Rosen Takashina), Christian writers (Meister Eckhart, Bernadette Roberts), and recent adepts of the Transcendental Meditation and other techniques. It is correlated with unusual physiological parameters, notably the absence of breathing.Finally a new model for the etiology of mystical experiences is proposed, that of forgetting/deautomatization, and shown to satisfactorily describe mystical techniques and predict the phenomenological and physiological parameters.
