Journal for the Study of Radicalism January 1, 2019 DOI: 10.14321/jstudradi.13.1.0075 via OpenAlex
Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThe article argues for a feminist reinterpretation of psychedelic consciousness, challenging male-dominated narratives in psychedelic studies. It proposes that psychedelic experiences can foster radical feminist consciousness by breaking down hierarchical thinking and promoting interconnectedness, empathy, and embodied awareness. The author draws on feminist theory, philosophy, and historical accounts to suggest that psychedelic states align with feminist goals of social transformation and critique of patriarchal structures. The work is a theoretical and philosophical paper that reimagines psychedelics as tools for feminist radicalism rather than solely as therapeutic or countercultural agents.
