What is consciousness? What is the place of consciousness in
nature? These and related questions occupy a prominent place in
contemporary studies in metaphysics and philosophy of mind, often
involving complex interdisciplinary connections between philosophy,
psychology, artificial intelligence, biology, and cognitive
neuroscience. At the same time, these questions play a fundamental
role in the philosophies of great thinkers of the past such as,
among others, Plotinus, Descartes, Leibniz, Kant, William James,
and Edmund Husserl. This new collection of essays by leading
contemporary philosophers of mind and historians of philosophy
seeks to address these questions from both a systematic and a
theoretical perspective and to create a new and fruitful forum for
future discussion. In the attempt to do justice to the richness of
our mental life, the volume features in-depth examinations not
solely of mainstream physicalist doctrines, but also of largely
neglected positions such as Cartesian dualism, idealism, and
panpsychism.
