Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- Mind and Its Place in the World: Introduction and Overview -- What’s the Mind-Body Problem With You Anyway? Prolegomena to any Scientific Discussion of Consciousness -- Thinkways: The Impulse to Reductionism -- Self-Appropriation: The Dynamic Structure of Human Consciousness -- One Man’s Meat Is Another Man’s Person -- Consciousness and the Intentional Awareness of Instantiables -- Mental Monism Considered as a Solution to the Mind-Body Problem -- Telepathy: Or, How do I Know that this Thought is Mine? -- The Dimensions of Conscious Experience: A Quantitative Phenomenology -- A Radical Externalist Approach to Consciousness: The Enlarged Mind -- On Explanation, Interpretation, and Natural Science with Reference to Freud, Ricoeur, and Von Wright -- Personal Identity, the Self and Time -- Quantum Monism: Spinozicism Revived? -- Boundary Conditions for Theories of Consciousness: The Near-Death Experience and the Failure of Materialism -- Contributors and Editors -- Backmatter
Summary: What is mind? What is its relationship to the physical world? Is consciousness a causative agent in the physical world? With much progress being made in the neurosciences, many have thought that these questions could be answered by reducing them to questions about physical systems such as the brain. But this approach has foundered on the core problem of consciousness: Why is it that some brain processes are accompanied by conscious awareness? This anthology points out new sources and unexamined paths of consciousness research. By presenting a wide spectrum of non-reductive theories, the volume endeavours to overcome the dichotomy between dualism and monism that keeps plaguing the debate in favour of new and more differentiated positions.
