Con questo libro l'autore conclude definitivamente il suo progetto per sviluppare una filosofia del Senso. Questo terzo capitolo definitivo, che giunge dopo "Senso dell'Antropologia" che già racchiudeva in un solo volume la trilogia "L'Evidenza dell'Anima", "Andare verso il Nulla" e "La via Antropologica", e che è stata poi seguita dal breve saggio filosofico "Senso Del Linguaggio", il viaggio giunge alla sua conclusione con il primo testo sperimentale, non accademico, e assolutamente "libero". Dopo questa pubblicazione l'autore conclude l'esposizione con un viaggio unico, un'alternanza di brevi capitoli argomentativi e poesie, tra prosa e versi "Senso della Gnosi" costituisce una sorta di poemetto atipico che comunica al lettore attraverso suggestioni e simboli.

Using a lens of mindfulness, this book explores how digital dependencies can displace attention and undermine attentional control, leading to experiences of stress and mindless involvement with digital technology. Using qualitative interviews with teachers and students of mindfulness programmes, the book explores the challenges and opportunities for reconciling digital interactions with mindful practice. A phenomenological analysis of participants' digital experiences shows three different imperatives (relating to digital capabilities, hyper-reality and algorithms), that can drive unconscious forms of interaction and encourage a delegation of attentional control that draws users away from the present moment. The book concludes by exploring the implications of these (extra-conscious) imperatives for understanding digital addiction. It also provides a set of guidelines for a digital approach to mindfulness practice that can encourage beneficial relationships with digital technology into the future.
