Böcker av Barry Dainton

Takes us through the nature of Self When you think 'What am I?', what's actually doing the thinking? Is it a soul, or some other kind of mental entity separate from your body, or are 'you' just a collection of nerve-endings and narratives? This book takes us through the nature of Self and its relation to the rest of reality.

Focuses on the relationship between consciousness and the brain. This work presents a systematic, phenomenological inquiry into the features of conscious life: the nature of awareness, introspection, phenomenal space, and time-consciousness. It is for anyone concerned with debates on consciousness in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience.
