Is there a theory that explains the essence of consciousness? Or is consciousness itself an illusion? Am I conscious now?Now considered the 'last great mystery of science', consciousness was once viewed with extreme scepticism and rejected by mainstream scientists. It is now a significant area of research, albeit a contentious one, as well as a rapidly expanding area of study for students of psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience.This edition of Consciousness, revised by author team Susan Blackmore and Emily Troscianko, explores the key theories and evidence in consciousness studies ranging from neuroscience and psychology to quantum theories and philosophy. It examines why the term ‘consciousness’ has no recognised definition and provides an opportunity to delve into personal intuitions about the self, mind, and consciousness. Featuring comprehensive coverage of all core topics in the field, this edition includes:Why the problem of consciousness is so hardNeuroscience and the neural correlates of consciousnessWhy we might be mistaken about our own mindsThe apparent difference between conscious and unconscious Theories of attention, free will, and self and otherThe evolution of consciousness in animals and machinesAltered states from meditation to drugs and dreamingComplete with key concept boxes, profiles of well-known thinkers, and questions and activities suitable for both independent study and group work, Consciousness provides a complete introduction to this fascinating field.
