Now in a new edition, this innovative text is the first volume to
bring together all the major theories of consciousness
studies--from those rooted in traditional Western philosophy to
those coming out of neuroscience, quantum theory, and Eastern
philosophy. Broadly interdisciplinary, Consciousness: An
Introduction, Second Edition, is divided into nine sections that
examine such topics as how subjective experiences arise from
objective brain processes, the basic neuroscience and
neuropathology of consciousness, altered states of consciousness,
mystical experiences and dreams, and the effects of drugs and
meditation. It also discusses the nature of self, the possibility
of artificial consciousness in robots, and the question of whether
or not animals are conscious. PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES * Profiles of
important philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists, and
biologists involved in consciousness studies * "Concept" text boxes
that elucidate specific aspects of consciousness * "Practice" and
"Activity" text boxes that encourage students to engage in
practical exercises in class and at home * Bold marginal quotations
that emphasize key ideas, and suggestions for further reading NEW
TO THIS EDITION * Cutting-edge coverage of out-of-body experiences
(Chapter 24), meditation (Chapter 26), and machine consciousness
(Section 6) * A revised and enhanced art program featuring more
than 230 photos, illustrations, and tables * A Companion Website at
www.oup.com/us/blackmore offering links to online resources and new
and emerging research; self-assessment exercises for students and

exercises
