Theories of Consciousness
Theories of Consciousness
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
