Stuart Hameroff MD Professor, Anesthesiology and Psychology, and Director, Center for Consciousness Studies The University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona   This book presents a rich, broad-ranging overview of contemporary research and scholarship into consciousness and the self?. It is ? to their credit that the editors have assembled a highly stimulating set of scholars whose expertise cover all the relevant areas. I strongly recommend the book to anyone with an interest in understanding the directions in which contemporary thinking about the nature of consciousness is headed. B. Les Lancaster Emeritus Professor of Transpersonal Psychology Liverpool John Moores University, UK     This volume is a collection of 17 essays that contribute to the emerging discipline of consciousness studies with particular focus on the concept of the self. The essays together argue that to understand consciousness is to understand the self that beholds consciousness. Two broad issues are addressed in the volume: the place of the self in the lives of humans and nonhuman primates; and the interrelations between the self and consciousness, which contribute to the understanding of cognitive functions, awareness, free will, nature of reality, and the complex experiential and behavioural attributes of consciousness. The book presents cutting-edge and original work from well-known authors and scholars of philosophy, psychiatry, behavioural sciences and physics. This is a pioneering attempt to present to the reader multiple ways of conceptualizing and thus understanding the relation between consciousness and self in a nuanced manner. 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aPsychiatry 606 $aPhilosophy of Mind$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E31000 606 $aCognitive Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20060 606 $aPsychiatry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H53003 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 0$aPsychiatry. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Mind. 615 24$aCognitive Psychology. 615 24$aPsychiatry. 676 $a128.2 702 $aMenon$b Sangeetha$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSinha$b Anindya$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSreekantan$b B.
