内容説明

In this book the significance of consciousness in modern science is discussed by a number of researchers from a variety of disciplines. They address themselves to several main issues: the status of different aspects of consciousness; the criteria for using the concept of consciousness and identifying instances of it; the basis of consciousness in functional brain organization; the relationship between different levels of theoretical discourse; and the functions of consciousness. This survey is intended for psychologists, philosophers, neuroscientists, social scientists and clinicians.
