Title: The Nature Of Consciousness
Description: Cambridge University. Press, Cambridge, 2001. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Black Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9780521808583 In The Nature of Consciousness, Mark Rowlands develops an innovative account of the nature of phenomenal consciousness, one that has significant consequences for attempts to find a place for it in the natural order. The most significant feature of consciousness is its dual nature: consciousness can be both the directing of awareness and that upon which awareness is directed. Rowlands offers a clear and philosophically insightful discussion of the main positions in this fast-moving debate, and argues that the phenomenal aspects of conscious experience are aspects that exist only in the directing of experience towards non-phenomenal objects, a theory that undermines reductive attempts to explain consciousness in terms of what is not conscious. His book will be of interest to a wide range of readers in the philosophy of mind and language, psychology and cognitive science. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ix + 245. Gilt titles spine.
