  1. From Yogic Powers to Technological Powers. Contemporary Yoga and Transhumanist Spirituality.Raquel Ferrández - 2024 - Journal of World Philosophies 9 (1).
    The ideal of “freedom-as-omnipotence” pointed out by Daya Krishna in his interpretation of the Yogasūtra is undoubtedly present throughout the history of yoga. This ideal of omnipotence is also at the basis of the contemporary transhumanist program through the ideal of human perfection, and there are already transhumanist versions that defend the use of meditative techniques from India as complements to a program of human enhancement. In this essay I argue that transhumanism and bioliberalism seek to free us from biological (...)

  2. The Nakedness of Prakṛti: A Sāṃkhya-Yoga Reading of Aubrey Menen's The Space Within the Heart.Raquel Ferrández - 2024 - Journal of Dharma Studies 2024:1-18.

  4. Listening to the breath, chanting the word: The two breaths in María Zambrano's Clearings of the Forest.Raquel Ferrandez - 2023 - Poligrafi 28 (111/112):225-242.
    Clearings of the Forest (Claros del Bosque, 1977), one of the most poetic and challenging works of María Zambrano’s thought, cannot be approached from a breathless paradigm. For the immersion in these clearings take us into the breathing of being that we contemplate alongside the more obvious physiological breathing, the breathing of life. In this work, Zambrano proposes a poetic and mystical phenomenology of the breathing of being through the breathing of its word. Thus, to recover contact with this inner (...)
