Vliv všímavosti na afektivitu. Fenomenologický výklad buddhistické meditace vipassanā (Influence of mindfulness on affectivity. A phenomenological interpretation of the Buddhist meditation vipassanā)

Abstract

The paper shows connection between the cultivation of attention in Buddhist meditation vipassanā and the phenomenological theory of affectivity. At first, it shortly describes the way how the praxis of meditation achieves progress of mindfulness. Then, this experience is interpreted from the point of view of Husserl’s theory of passive constitution. Finally, it describes mindfulness in terms of the boundary between activity and passivity of human being in the world.
