Science and the Riddle of Consciousness

A Solution

Beschreibung

Consciousness has become a major topic of scientific interest, and dozens of books have been written in recent years to explain it, yet it still remains a mystery. Science and the Riddle of Consciousness explains why consciousness is a riddle for science, and demonstrates how this riddle can be solved.
The questions examined in the book speak directly to neuroscientists, computer scientists, psychologists, and philosophers.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: `[...] Foss has produced an excellent book from which consciousness researchers can profit.' Philosophia, 31:1-2 (October 2003) "Professor Foss has written not just one book but sketched two in outline. Ostensively his task is to show how one might study matters of consciousness in a scientifically responsible manner. ... Foss has written a most exciting work. It is both rigorously argued and fun to read. Foss's book should earn him a place with the likes of Daniel Dennett and Owen Flanagan - high praise indeed." (Paul A. Wagner, The Review of Metaphysics, Vol. LVI (223), 2003)
