Abstract

The article stems from the conviction that there is an analogy between departing from the anthropocentric model of reflection (symptomatic for the so-called posthumanities) and certain practices developed by various schools of spirituality in order to overcome the egocentric viewpoint. The author provides a theoretical framework, which attempts at redefining the notion of imagination in the context of ecocriticism and Malabou’s plasticity. Then she draws attention to cases in which contemporary humanists engage in artistic projects using methods of conscious breathing and meditation. She analyzes those installations in the light of contemporary research on meditation and shows how these postsecular practices stimulate self-transcendent experiences.
