Description
The study of consciousness has changed dramatically in recent years with new empirical research from neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology raising fascinating questions and suggesting entirely new answers for the field. This book draws together all major approaches from these disciplines in a lucid and comprehensive manner, ideal for students looking for an introductory overview. It particularly focuses on the scientific evidence that has excited the field but also offers a balanced view and careful analysis of the philosophical concepts and positions that underlie this age-old quest to understand the mind. This makes it a perfect choice for both advanced students and those seeking to grasp a clear, broad understanding of the subject of consciousness.
