Despite recent strides in neuroscience and psychology that have
deepened understanding of the brain, consciousness remains one of
the greatest philosophical and scientific puzzles. The second
edition of Theories of Consciousness: An Introduction and
Assessment provides a fresh and up-to-date introduction to a
variety of approaches to consciousness, and contributes to the
current lively debate about the nature of consciousness and whether
a scientific understanding of it is possible. After an initial
overview of the status and prospects of physicalism in the face of
the problem of consciousness, William Seager explores key themes
from Descartes - the founder of the modern problem of
consciousness. He then turns to the most important theories of
consciousness: identity theories and the generation problem
higher-order thought theories of consciousness
self-representational theories of consciousness Daniel Dennett's
theory of consciousness attention-based theories of consciousness
representational theories of consciousness conscious intentionality
panpsychism neutral monism. Thoroughly revised and expanded
throughout, this second edition includes new chapters on animal
consciousness, reflexive consciousness, combinatorial forms of
panpsychism and neutral monism, as well as a significant new
chapter on physicalism, emergence and consciousness. The book's
broad scope, depth of coverage and focus on key philosophical
positions and arguments make it an indispensable text for those
teaching or studying philosophy of mind and psychology. It is also
an excellent resource for those working in related fields such as
cognitive science and the neuroscience of consciousness.
