This research aims to conceptualize cognitive liberty and the psychedelic humanities by examining their constitutive elements. The importance of this study lies in the fact that it is widespread to talk about psychedelic science nowadays, but there is a significant gap in the research. For instance, the role and importance of the humanities need to be acknowledged. Regarding cognitive liberty, this research considers that people have the right to use or refrain from using emerging neurotechnologies and psychedelics. People's freedom of choice these technologies must be protected, in particular with regard to coercive and non-consensual uses. Firstly, an analysis will be carried out of the constitutive elements of cognitive liberty, especially within the context of a philosophical approach. Secondly, this research will address some arguments for the philosophical uses of psychedelics. Finally, this paper will discuss the scope and significance of psychedelic humanities as a vein of research. Cognitive liberty is a crucial concept for the psychedelic humanities, likely to broaden our understanding of consciousness studies and reflect on ethical and social issues related to scientific research. Cognitive liberty is an update of freedom of thought according to the challenges of the 21st century. In addition, this paper will highlight the possible philosophical uses of psychedelic substances to broaden the research scope since, at present, the ritual and therapeutic uses of psychedelics have the most significant legitimacy. Recognition of philosophical uses demonstrates that learning from non-clinical uses of psychedelics is possible. The psychedelic humanities represent an underexplored avenue of research that can contribute to a better understanding of the interplay between science and culture.
本研究旨在通过审视认知自由和迷幻人文主义的构成要素，对其进行概念化。这项研究的重要性在于，如今谈论迷幻科学已很普遍，但研究中存在显著差距。例如，人文科学的作用和重要性需要得到认可。关于认知自由，本研究认为人们有权使用或不使用新兴神经技术和迷幻剂。必须保护人们对这些技术的选择自由，特别是针对强制性和非自愿使用的情况。首先，将对认知自由的构成要素进行分析，尤其是在哲学方法的背景下。其次，本研究将探讨一些支持迷幻剂哲学用途的论据。最后，本文将讨论迷幻人文主义作为一个研究脉络的范围和意义。认知自由是迷幻人文主义的一个关键概念，可能会拓宽我们对意识研究的理解，并促使我们思考与科学研究相关的伦理和社会问题。认知自由是根据21世纪的挑战对思想自由的更新。此外，本文将强调迷幻物质可能的哲学用途，以拓宽研究范围，因为目前迷幻剂的仪式和治疗用途具有最显著的合法性。对哲学用途的认可表明，从迷幻剂的非临床用途中学习是可能的。迷幻人文主义代表了一个尚未充分探索的研究途径，有助于更好地理解科学与文化之间的相互作用。
