Introduction to Consciousness
Hi!This book is subdivided into six parts, each with 3 corresponding chapters. Here is an overview of the components;The Problem (chapters 1, 2, 3)The Brain (chapters 4, 5, 6)Body and World (chapters 7, 8, 9)Evolution (chapters 10, 11, 12)Limits (chapters 13, 14, 15)The Self and Others (chapters 16, 17, 18) Consciousness, or consciousness, is a confusing concept. This book is therefore not made to resolve this confusion - in fact, it will make the probable worse.The majority of this confusion is caused by the fact that there is no fixed sense of explanation for the concept of "consciousness," despite the many attempts made by philosophy and science. Consciousness can be used as a sign of unconsciousness, but also as the concept of understanding science of something. In other words, words fall short for this concept.Moreover, the study of consciousness is a relatively young branch of science and therefore not much is known. This book tries to teach you to take a different look at the world around you. As you read this, you are probably so aware that you are aware of the world around you, but is that so? When are you really aware? What are you currently aware of? Back to top...
