Description

This book reviews some of the most important scientific and philosophical theories concerning the nature of mind and consciousness.

Current theories on the mind-body problem and the neural correlates of consciousness are presented through a series of biographical sketches of the most influential thinkers across the fields of philosophy of mind, psychology and neuroscience.

The book is divided into two parts: the first is dedicated to philosophers of mind and the second, to neuroscientists/experimental psychologists.

Each part comprises twenty short chapters, with each chapter being dedicated to one author.

A brief introduction is given on his or her life and most important works and influences.

The most influential theory/ies developed by each author are then carefully explained and examined with the aim of scrutinizing the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches to the nature of consciousness.
