Karina Ferreira Firme writes at the intersection of psychology, philosophy of mind, and contemplative traditions. She also works in a naturalistic register, with no metaphysical commitment, at fieldpsychology.org.

A note on AI: The ideas in this work — the concepts, the connections between fields, the architecture of the whole — come from a long process of philosophical inquiry and a lifelong effort to understand and systematize. I have used AI extensively as a writing instrument: to help word, sharpen, and organize what that process produced. The thinking is mine; the responsibility is too. I stand behind every claim on this site.
