Mind Leaks : A Commentary on Wooffitt’s Poetic Confluence: A Sociological Analysis of an Enigmatic Moment

Cardeña, Etzel LU orcid (2019) In Psychoanalytic Dialogues 29(3). p.346-354
Abstract

This commentary on Wooffitt’s lucid article discusses three major implications of the phenomenon of poetic confluences or ESP puns to our understanding of minds and selves. The first reinforces the view of mind as associative and metaphorical, rather than merely computational. The second reviews various strands of evidence, including experimental research on psi phenomena, to reveal that selves and individuals are not sharply distinct or separate from others. The final, epistemological, implication is that poetic confluences add to the irresolvable causal uncertainty about mental events.
