Consciousness and the Brain

About this book

Consciousness is the integral phenomenon of human experience, so say the authors. Starting with a philosophical approach that establishes the naturalistic underpinnings of consciousness, they go on to examine the mental attributes, the brain's role and finally the bizarre perspectives on split-brain patients. The authors are experts in their fields and include Owen Flanagan, William Hirst, Ilya B. Farber, Patricia S. Cumberland and Michael S. Gazzaniga. 2 cassettes.
