Description
The evocation of narrative as a way to understand the content of consciousness, including memory, autobiography, self, and imagination, has sparked truly interdisciplinary work among psychologists, philosophers, and literary critics. Even neuroscientists have taken an interest in the stories people create to understand themselves, their past, and the world around them. The research presented in this volume should appeal to researchers enmeshed in these problems, as
well as the general reader with an interest in the philosophical problem of what consciousness is and how it functions in the everyday world.
Table of Contents
- PART I: ROLE OF NARRATIVE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONSCIOUS AWARENESS
- PART II: NARRATIVE AND THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMORY
- PART III: AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NARRATIVE, FICTION AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF SELF
- PART IV: NARRATIVE DISRUPTIONS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SELF
- PART V: NEURAL SUBSTRATE OF NARRATIVE AND CONSCIOUSNESS REALIZATION (OR THE NATURALIST MODEL)
