There has been an explosion of work on consciousness in the last
30-40 years from philosophers, psychologists, and neurologists.
Thus, there is a need for an interdisciplinary, comprehensive
volume in the field that brings together contributions from a wide
range of experts on fundamental and cutting-edge topics. The
Routledge Handbook of Consciousness fills this need and makes each
chapter's importance understandable to students and researchers
from a variety of backgrounds. Designed to complement and better
explain primary sources, this volume is a valuable "first-stop"
publication for undergraduate or graduate students enrolled in any
course on "Consciousness," "Philosophy of Mind," or "Philosophy of
Psychology," as well as a valuable handbook for researchers in
these fields who want a useful reference to have close at hand. The
34 chapters, all published here for the first time, are divided
into three parts: Part I covers the "History and Background
Metaphysics" of consciousness, such as dualism, materialism, free
will, and personal identity, and includes a chapter on Indian
philosophy. Part II is on specific "Contemporary Theories of
Consciousness," with chapters on representational, information
integration, global workspace, attention-based, and quantum
theories. Part III is entitled "Major Topics in Consciousness
Research," with chapters on psychopathologies, dreaming,
meditation, time, action, emotion, multisensory experience, animal
and robot consciousness, and the unity of consciousness. Each
chapter begins with a brief introduction and concludes with a list
of "Related Topics," as well as a list of "References," making the
volume indispensable for the newcomer and experienced researcher
alike.
