Philosophy and consciousness -- part 2. Neuroscience and consciousness -- part 3. Philosophy, neuroscience and consciousness.Explaining consciousness is one of the last great unanswered scientific and philosophical problems. Immediately known, familiar and obvious, consciousness is also baffling, opaque and strange. This introduction to the problems posed by consciousness discusses the most important work of cognitive science, neurophysiology and philosophy of mind of recent years and presents an up to date assessment of the issues and debates. The book’s engagement with the neuroscience material sets it apart from other philosophical introductions. Welshon presents an informal and largely non-technical account of the properties of consciousness that are thought to be the most paradigmatic and problematic before examining recent scientific work – from neurophysiological studies of the brain to computational theories of the mind – and the philosophical problems that these accounts raise.ConsciousnessNeurosciencesConsciousness.Neurosciences.126Welshon Rex1955-899600MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807073303321Philosophy, neuroscience and consciousness4011630UNINA
