Throughout history attempts have been made to explain who we are
and how we came to be conscious beings. Until the emergence of
evolutionary theory, most explanations were theological in nature.
During the last hundred years, theorists have proposed a variety of
explanations, including biological, sociocultural, psychological,
and transpersonal. Unfortunately, these explanations have been
oriented toward just one of these particular aspects of
consciousness, and have generally excluded the others. When
attempts have been made to incorporate all of these aspects, Arden
asserts that the results have been flawed by a dualistic approach.
Arden provides a non-dualistic and multidisciplinary explanation of
what it means to be a conscious human being. While full attention
is given to evolutionary theory, physics, philosophy/history, and
theology, Arden provides a coherent synthesis of all the factors
affecting consciousness. The issues raised by the sciences of
complexity, chaos theory, nonlocality, as well as new developments
in neurophysiology are incorporated in a broad-based theory of
consciousness. Consciousness, Arden asserts, is a fluid and
non-dualistic process where function and structure co-evolve.
Consciousness is the result of the same evolutionary process that
affects all living phenomena. As such, it is both a part of and an
active participant in the biosphere we inhabit. This is an
intriguing volume for anyone interested in the underpinnings of
consciousness, from psychologists and philosophers to laypeople
interested in transpersonal ideas.
