This volume of essays examines the problem of mind, looking at how
the problem has appeared to neuroscientists (in the widest sense)
from classical antiquity through to contemporary times. Beginning
with a look at ventricular neuropsychology in antiquity, this book
goes on to look at Spinozan ideas on the links between mind and
body, Thomas Willis and the foundation of Neurology, Hooke’s
mechanical model of the mind and Joseph Priestley’s approach to
the mind-body problem. The volume offers a chapter on the 19th
century Ottoman perspective on western thinking. Further chapters
trace the work of nineteenth century scholars including George
Henry Lewes, Herbert Spencer and Emil du Bois-Reymond. The book
covers significant work from the twentieth century, including an
examination of Alfred North Whitehead and the history of
consciousness, and particular attention is given to the development
of quantum consciousness. Chapters on slavery and the self and the
development of an understanding of Dualism bring this examination
up to date on the latest 21st century work in the field. At the
heart of this book is the matter of how we define the problem of
consciousness itself: has there been any progress in our
understanding of the working of mind and brain? This work at the
interface between science and the humanities will appeal to experts
from across many fields who wish to develop their understanding of
the problem of consciousness, including scholars of Neuroscience,
Behavioural Science and the History of Science.
