In “Awakening from the Meaning Crisis” Vervaeke unpacks terms we use, including mindfulness, translated from “sati,” which is a kind of remembering.  This is a bruited-about word, but Vervaeke points out we have a lot of vagueness and confusion around it.  He tries to provide a definition, which is not a feature list, as we often do when we try to define mindfulness.  Vervaeke tries to provide a structural-functional account, like Plato’s eidos.
