Each is a metacognitive investigation of mystical experience as what happens when consciousness discovers its family resemblances with other recursive processes.,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIra Livingston is currently Professor and Chair of Humanities and Media Studies at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY (since 2007), after a long stint at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (where he founded and directed a Cultural Studies Ph.D. program).
