Making Amends
Authors: Tierney Hannah 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
On one popular approach to blameworthiness, an agent is the fitting target of blame in virtue of culpably doing wrong. But this view faces a puzzle. If an agent culpably performs a wrong action, then this fact will always be true of them, and so they will be the fitting target of blame forever. But this seems counter-intuitive—we typically judge that it is not fitting to blame culpable wrongdoers in perpetuity. So, there must be more to being blameworthy over time than culpable wrongdoing. This chapter defends a reparative account of blameworthiness over time, according to which blameworthy agents have reparative obligations to their victims and remain the fitting target of blame until these obligations are fulfilled.
The Varieties and Complexities of Multimodal Hallucinations in Psychosis
Authors: Moseley Peter , Mitrenga Kaja 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Despite the high prevalence of multimodal hallucinations in psychosis, limited research has been conducted on this subject, and little is known about the relationship between experiences in different modalities. Building upon the descriptions of these experiences from the Voices in Psychosis (VIP) interviews, the chapter discusses multimodal hallucinations in more detail, including both their prevalence and tendencies towards manifestation across specific modalities. It is observed that multimodal hallucinations can vary considerably in their described complexity (from fleeting shadows to clearly visible people), can sometimes be linked by agentic attribution (i.e. different experiences are believed to be different manifestations of the voice), and can be either temporally synchronous or asynchronous. These observations have ramifications for attempts to explain the underlying cognitive processes associated with hallucinations in psychosis.
Voices in Psychosis
Authors: Powell Hilary 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Reading the transcripts of phenomenological interviews with voice-hearers, one is left with a composite image of dark, silhouetted ‘voices’, ‘mooching’ in doorways with holes for faces. They whisper, scold, and insult the voice-hearer, eroding their trust in themselves and their self-worth and, in several cases, persuading the voice-hearer to self-harm. These shadowy and dangerous figures are evocative of the demonic forms found in medieval saints’ lives and accounts of mystical experiences. But how can we ensure that the conversation between past and present moves beyond the small talk of similarities and differences towards a weightier, more mutually enhancing, even transformative conversation?
Household Ghosts and Personified Presences
Authors: Garratt Peter 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Voices in psychosis and fictional voices can open a window on how we understand ghostly presences, whether as intimations of otherness or richly personified companions—what Charles Dickens simply calls ‘that someone else’ in his celebrated ghost story ‘The Signalman’ (1866). That ‘someone else’ might involve a multifaceted sense of otherness, as the Voices in Psychosis interviews suggest: a crowding and clamour, a whispering, or even a silent intimation of presence. The complexity of earlier attitudes towards ghosts—and the variety in Dickens’s imaginative use of voices—highlights how deeply culturally informed, and even strangely hospitable, this encounter can be.
Vagabond Narratives
Authors: Waugh Patricia 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Home is the topos of our most intimate being. ‘[D]issolved and distributed’ in fragments within us (Rilke), it is the scene of our becoming persons, played out in affective, spatial, and temporal relation to the world throughout life. Every speaker in the Voices in Psychosis (VIP) transcripts is ‘without a settled home’: their vagabond voices articulate an experience of radical unhousing that disturbs boundaries between inside and outside, real and imaginary, past and present. Drawing on phenomenology and political theory, this chapter explores the complex relationship between the space of home—oneiric, haunted, never simply geometric—and the sense of personal identity, expressed in the often obsessional preoccupation with the locations, movements, amplifications, fading, masking, and boundary disruptions of voices. Can listening attentively liberate other ways of thinking about who or what is inside or out? Might voices ‘queer’ and liberate, even reverse, the pejorative semantics of the ‘vagabond’?
‘I Just Feel Like There’s Just Lots of People in My Head!’
Authors: Luce Anna , Barclay Nicola 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Using cognitive analytic concepts, this chapter explores voice-hearers’ relationships with their voices and the meanings they give to them. Cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) aims to understand how current problems relate to earlier (relational) experiences. Therapist and client think together about the different ways that individuals have learnt to try to manage difficult feelings or experiences, and work together to discover new choices or ways of doing things. The concept of reciprocal roles is used in CAT to describe our templates for relating to others and to ourselves, which generally derive from our early relationships (i.e. with caregivers), but which can later become problematic. The chapter considers how reciprocal roles may be re-enacted during voice-hearing experiences, and how these ideas may be of use to both clinicians and clients.
‘Then I Open the Door and Walk into Their World’
Authors: Hart Akiko 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
I always knew that one day I would write about my personal experiences of felt presences. It surprises me that it is here, now, and in this way. When I read the Voices in Psychosis transcripts, I had to catch my breath: so many ghosts, unseen, unheard, slipping through them. And there was something in the act of reading which made me stop. I felt I could only respond with a confession of my own. Writing something so personal wasn’t easy. It’s not what I do: I’m the CEO of a charity. I spend much of my time in a mental health policy space. I am neither a voice-hearer nor a researcher. This discomfort shows, I think. It was hard to judge what felt safe to write, when words brought my presences to life. So I wrapped my experiences loosely around three themes: interiority, panopticism, and possibility. I hid them, to protect them and let them be. I tried to think of the child, the young adult I was. Here is my attempt to talk to her, about her.
Quantum Mentality
Authors: de Barros J. Acacio , Montemayor Carlos 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn this chapter we argue that an access-consciousness version of panpsychism, which we call “panintentionalism” suffices, and is better equipped to account for the type of mentality involved in quantum mechanics than the standard one, based on phenomenal-consciousness. We provide details concerning the notion of “observer” in quantum mechanics to support our claims and conclude that, even if one accepts a panpsychist view of the universe, only a panintentionalist version is justified.
The Completeness of Quantum Mechanics and the Determinateness and Consistency of Intersubjective Experience
Authors: Silberstein Michael , Stuckey W. M. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractRecent experiments (gedanken or otherwise) and theorems in quantum mechanics (QM) have led many people to claim that QM is not compatible with determinate and intersubjectively consistent experience, what some call the “absoluteness” of observed events; examples include new iterations on Wigner’s friend and delayed choice. Herein we provide a realist psi-epistemic take on QM that saves the absoluteness of observed events and the completeness of QM, without giving up free will or locality. We also show how our realist psi-epistemic account eliminates the measurement problem and, coupled with our take on neutral monism, also eliminates the hard problem of consciousness. On our view there is no need for conscious experience to explain measurement collapse nor any need for measurement collapse to resolve the hard problem. The key here is to reject the unquestioned assumptions that inexorably lead to the measurement problem and the hard problem. This will require a reconception of QM and, a reconception of matter, conscious experience and their relationship to one another.
The Roles Ascribed to Consciousness in Quantum Physics
Authors: Bitbol Michel 
Published: October 2022

AbstractTwo questions standardly arise about the connections between quantum mechanics and consciousness: “how can consciousness impose a reduction of the physical system’s quantum state?”; and, conversely, “how can consciousness be produced by a quantum process?”. In this paper, such questions are not answered, but considered as symptoms of a cultural bias. Indeed, they involve two terms, consciousness and physical systems, which make the mental attractor of dualism irresistible. As an antidote, the monistic standpoint of phenomenology is adopted. According to phenomenology, consciousness is no thing or property that may exist, but a misleading name for the precondition for any ascription of existence. Several standard conundrums of quantum mechanics are revisited from this standpoint. In particular, the measurement problem (with its concept of state reduction) is immediately dissolved if one adopts a phenomenology-compatible interpretation of quantum mechanics. This is the case of QBism, which starts everything afresh from a first-person standpoint.
Proposal to Use Humans to Switch Settings in a Bell Experiment
Authors: Hardy Lucien 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn this paper I discuss how we might go about performing a Bell experiment in which humans are used to decide the settings at each end. To get a sufficiently high rate of switching at both ends, I suggest an experiment over a distance of about 100km with 100 people at each end wearing EEG headsets, with the signals from these headsets being used to switch the settings. The radical possibility we wish to investigate is that, when humans are used to decide the settings (rather than various types of random number generators), we might then expect to see a violation of Quantum Theory in agreement with the relevant Bell inequality. Such a result, while very unlikely, would be tremendously significant for our understanding of the world (and I will discuss some interpretations). Possible radical implications aside, performing an experiment like this would push the development of new technologies. The biggest problem would be to get sufficiently high rates wherein there has been a human induced switch at each end before a signal as to the new value of the setting could be communicated to the other end and, at the same time, a photon pair is detected. It looks like an experiment like this, while challenging, is just about feasible with current technologies.
New Physics for the Orch-OR Consciousness Proposal
Authors: Penrose Roger 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The human ability to achieve conscious understanding is argued to be a non-computational process. For this to be in accordance with physical laws requires something beyond current physical theory, in supplying a physical basis for “the collapse of the wave function”, demoted OR. This is argued to be an effect of gravitation on quantum mechanics. OR events are what allow a firm classical reality to arise from a quantum reality having a somewhat weaker ontological status. When appropriately orchestrated, these “proto-conscious” OR events become genuine conscious processes according to the Orch-OR proposal. From the principles of relativity theory, it can be deduced that OR, and therefore Orch-OR, can have a certain “retro-active” effect, which can explain how conscious decisions can act within a very small fraction of a second, in contradiction with a conclusion frequently made, on the basis of various experiments, that such acts must be necessarily unconscious. Also, it provides an explanation for some puzzling related effects found by Benjamin Libet in the 1970s.
Orch OR and the Quantum Biology of Consciousness
Authors: Hameroff Stuart 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe Orch OR theory attributes consciousness to “orchestrated” quantum computations in microtubules inside brain neurons. These terminate by Penrose objective reduction (OR), a process in the fine scale structure of the universe which introduces phenomenal experience and non-computability. Lattice polymers of tubulin proteins, microtubules organize intra-neuronal activities. The Penrose-Hameroff Orch OR theory suggests that microtubules 1) encode memory and process information, 2) orchestrate quantum vibrational superpositions (qubits) of pi electron resonance dipoles within tubulin which unify, entangle and 3) evolve to meet Orch OR threshold for full, rich conscious experience, most likely 4) in dendrites and soma of cortical layer 5 pyramidal neurons, and 5) selection of microtubule states which regulate axonal firings and behavior. Penrose has further described 6) retroactivity inherent in OR and Orch OR, which can resolve Libet’s backward time referral, and rescue conscious free will. Orch OR has explanatory power, and is testable and falsifiable.
Strange Trails: Science to Metaphysics
Authors: Seager William 
Published: October 2022

AbstractQuantum mechanics is notoriously difficult to interpret. What does the theory say our world is really like? And what is it to ‘interpret’ a theory in the first place? Here I argue that the goal of interpretation is intelligibility, a goal which has always accompanied basic scientific pursuits. Intelligibility aims to show how that the world – as a theory pictures it – can be made intuitively clear. Quantum mechanics seems incapable of supporting this feature of intelligibility. But there are distinct kinds of intelligibility. I identify three kinds: mundane, mathematical and metaphysical. Theories can meet the demands of intelligibility to a greater or lesser extent across all three kinds. Quantum theory grades very high in terms of mathematical intelligibility but very low on mundane intelligibility. This mismatch motivates the search for ‘interpretations’ of quantum mechanics. These are efforts to provide metaphysical intelligibility. Various examples are considered and I investigate David Bohm’s approach as a case of a radical metaphysics whose motivations are somewhat akin to those of Leibniz.
On the Place of Qualia in a Relational Universe
Authors: Smolin Lee 
Published: October 2022

AbstractWe propose an approach to the question of how qualia fit into the physical world, in the context of a relational and realist completion of quantum theory, called the causal theory of views. This is a combination of an approach to a dynamics of discrete causal structures, called energetic causal sets, developed with M. Cortes, with a realist approach to quantum foundations, called the real ensemble formulation. In this theory, the beables are the information available at each event from its causal past, such as its causal predecessors and the energy and momentum they transfer to the event. We call this the view of an event. That is, we describe a causal universe that is composed of a set of partial views of itself. We propose that conscious perceptions are aspects of some views. This addresses the problem of why consciousness always involves awareness of a bundled grouping of qualia that define a momentary self. This gives a restricted form of panpsychism defined by a physically based selection principle which selects which views have experiential aspects. We further propose that only those views which are novel, in the sense that they are not duplicates of the view of any event in the event's own causal past, are the physical correlates of conscious experience.
Ecological Intervention at the Macro Level
Authors: Sprinson John , Berrick Ken 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter describes efforts to address ecological adversity at the macro level. It is concerned with problems of system-level innovation and reform, program-level innovation, and broad issues of social policy. Intervention at this level is generally carried out by organizations and advocacy groups rather than individual workers or teams. Using the child welfare system as an example, the chapter reviews important contradictions in its mission and practices and discusses a variety of proposals for its reform. This discussion focuses on the problem of reactive or targeted systems and examines ways in which underlying drivers of involvement with child welfare could be addressed through universal services and universal efforts to support low-income families. The chapter concludes with a series of examples of system change and program innovations that have been undertaken by human service organizations and advocacy groups. This discussion sorts such efforts into program development, legal action, convening and collaboration initiatives, budgetary shifts, legislative/regulatory action, and training and technical assistance.
Final Thoughts and Questions for Moving Forward
Authors: Sprinson John , Berrick Ken 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The concluding chapter summarizes some of the central themes of the book: the interconnectedness of multiple forms of ecological adversity, the complex and shifting challenges and constraints faced by parents and children, and the way in which accounts of these challenges are very often omitted from both intervention and policymaking. The problem of destructive cultural narratives which blame clients for their predicaments is described, and the shame and hopelessness that result is noted. The chapter addresses a series of potential challenges to adopting an ecological perspective such as the high cost of prevention, the political issues that often swirl around efforts to address social problems, insistence on the value of traditional interventions at the levels of the individual and the family, and the sheer enormity of fundamental causes such as poverty and racism. The chapter ends with a call to fully embrace an ecological perspective.
Connecting With Repertoire
Authors: Kelly-McHale Jacqueline 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn our ever-changing demographic landscape, it has become important that music educators develop an awareness of the ways that their choices in the classroom connect to a broader historical, cultural, and political reality, especially when it comes to repertoire. Herein lies the need for teachers to make musical decisions based on an understanding and awareness of the historical, cultural, and political norms that have shaped music, especially when it comes to the concept of folk songs. Each song, every piece of music, contributes to a complex web of experiences that have the potential to shape students’ understanding of music in their lives and the ways that music connects across experience. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a rationale for the importance of recognizing and embracing the reality that musical decisions cannot be divorced from the historical, cultural, and political influences that shape musical experience.
Toward School and Community Musical Engagements
Authors: Veblen Kari K. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractAlthough research in the field of general music education has customarily focused on school-based music making, it is increasingly apparent that there is value in considering the variety of ways in which music is learned, practiced, and valued in the world outside the classroom. This chapter explores musical engagements, intersections, and interfaces of community and schools in North America. The author investigates community music as culturally prescribed, context sensitive, dynamic, and adaptable. Central to the chapter is a descriptive typology of contexts that may be part of a young person’s musical world in the United States and Canada. Indeed, the impetus for considering school-community links frequently arises from the demographics of a given classroom and the desire to promote relevant and significant musical opportunities. Vignettes and case studies are interwoven with current research to illustrate diverse strategies for school and community engagements.
Perceiving and Responding Through Analysis
Authors: Paney Andrew S. , Buonviri Nathan O. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractWhen students understand the music they hear, they can respond in thoughtful and creative ways. All students can develop analytical listening skills that lead to greater musical understanding, interaction, enjoyment, and music making. The purpose of this chapter is threefold: (1) to demonstrate the value of aural analysis in music education, (2) to offer a theoretical framework for inclusion of analysis in curriculum development, and (3) to provide applications in the general music classroom. The chapter concludes with lesson ideas designed to help primary and secondary school students know music better, through their ears, in relevant and lasting ways. The plans incorporate popular music, technology, and diverse cultural influences to reflect the rapidly evolving world in which students are experiencing music.
Naquib Al-Attas
Authors: Aljunied Khairudin 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Chapter 1 examines the ideas of Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, who is one of the most influential modern Muslim thinkers. He is, to put it succinctly, a desecularist who has engaged in a philosophical and thoroughgoing rejection of secularism. He does not accept the transplanting and grafting of Islam with that of secularism, yet he is also not concerned with revolutions and the overthrow of governments. He views secularism as an ideology to be assessed, critiqued, and overcome in the path to promulgating a new form of knowledge and an alternative worldview firmly rooted in the Islamic traditions. He offers a unique view of secularism as an ungodly ideology and historical process that grew from the fusion of conflicting worldviews—Greco-Roman, Judaic, and Western Christian.
How Technology Can Help You
Authors: Randles Clint 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter concerns setting up a classroom to handle the rehearsal of up to thirty-five musicians in one room, in multiple bands, in a way that makes sense in either a general music setting or an instrumental/choral rehearsal setting. The ideas shared in this chapter could even work in a room in a school that is not typically used for music. The crux of space management is the use of a mixer and headphone hub environment to allow several bands to rehearse without interfering with each other. A typical school classroom can allow for a maximum of six bands to rehearse in the same space. That means that each of the mixers would have to allow approximately six students to input their instrument/voice into the band environment at a time.
Instruments and Effects
Authors: Randles Clint 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The history of musical instruments is full of innovative musicians and composers working to stretch what is possible in their music. The pursuit of new sounds and the emerging technologies surrounding them tell a story of curiosity, exploration, and discovery. Human beings push their art as far as they can, stretch it to include sounds that were not typical, use scales that were once foreign, and employ techniques for sound enhancement that were once not employed. Instruments are all at some level a form of technology. This chapter considers instruments as tools for creative expression in the classroom. Its focus is on the electric guitar and its associated effects and amplification, but it also considers bass guitars, keyboards and acoustic and digital drum sets. The chapter closes with a short look at custom instrument building.
