Consciousness emerges as the key topic in this second edition of
Owen Flanagan's popular introduction to cognitive science and the
philosophy of psychology. in a new chapter Flanagan develops a
neurophilosophical theory of subjective mental life. He brings
recent developments in the theory of neuronal group selection and
connectionism to bear on the problems of the evolution of
consciousness, qualia, the unique first-personal aspects of
consciousness, the causal role of consciousness, and the function
and development of the sense of personal identity. He has also
substantially revised the chapter on cognitive psychology and
artificial intelligence to incorporate recent discussions of
connectionism and parallel distributed processing.
