About

My thesis explores how humans perceive and experience their physical and mental limits in hostile environments such as the hyperbaric world. Focusing on freedivers, particularly champions, it examines how they embody self-transcendence and a unique relationship with their environment. Through a programme of microphenomenological and physiological descriptions of the deep-sea freediving experience, the aim is to develop a phenomenology of perception in the hyperbaric environment as a method of describing extreme experiences. This approach aims to understand the philosophical implications of the human-extreme relationship in order to better understand how to explore distant worlds.
