Can we "see" or "find" consciousness in the brain? How can we
create working definitions of consciousness and subjectivity,
informed by what contemporary research and technology have taught
us about how the brain works? How do neuronal processes in the
brain relate to our experience of a personal identity? To explore
these and other questions, Georg Northoff turns to examples of
unhealthy minds. By investigating consciousness through its absence
in a vegetative state, for example, we can develop a model for
understanding its presence in an active, healthy person. By
examining instances of distorted self-recognition in people with
psychiatric disorders, like schizophrenia, we can begin to
understand how the experience of "self" is established in a stable
brain. Taking an integrative approach to understanding the self,
consciousness, and what it means to be mentally healthy, this book
brings insights from neuroscience to bear on philosophical
questions.
