Description
This fourth edition of Consciousness An Introduction explores the key theories and evidence in consciousness studies, covering topics from neuroscience and psychology to quantum theories and philosophy. Written by mother and daughter author team Susan Blackmore and Emily Troscianko, the book delves into personal intuitions about the self, mind, and consciousness.
Comprehensive coverage of all core topics in the field is provided, including theories of attention and free will, altered states of consciousness, and the differences between conscious and unconscious. The book has been thoroughly updated to include expanded coverage of panpsychism, illusionism, predictive processing, adversarial collaboration, psychedelics, and AI.
With key concept boxes, profiles of well-known thinkers, and questions and activities designed for independent study or group work, Consciousness An Introduction offers a complete introduction to this fascinating field, making it an ideal resource for students of psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience.
