A fresh approach to solving one of the great puzzles of the natural world
Eagerly awaited book from a prominent figure in consciousness studies Some mental events are conscious, some are unconscious. What is the difference between the two? Uriah Kriegel offers the following answer: whatever else they may represent, conscious mental states always represent themselves (whereas unconscious ones do not, at least not in the right way). The book develops this 'self-representational' approach to consciousness along several dimensions - including phenomenological, ontological, and scientific - and defends it from common and uncommon criticisms. Readership: Advanced students and scholars of philosophy, psychologists and cognitive scientists interested in consciousness. |
