Consciousness reconsidered. Flanagan, O. MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, US, 1992. abstract bibtex (from the jacket) In this broad, entertaining, and persuasive account, Owen Flanagan argues that we are on the way to understanding consciousness and its place in the natural order. No aspect of consciousness escapes Flanagan's probe. Qualia, self-consciousness, autobiographical memory, perceptions, sensations, the stream of consciousness, and such disorders as blindsight, various kinds of amnesia, and multiple personality all find a place in a constructive theory (constructive naturalism) that brings into reflective equilibrium insights from a wide array of disciplines to reveal the deep, rich, and complex hidden structure of consciousness. /// Flanagan roams freely through a variety of scientific and philosophical domains, showing how it is possible to understand human consciousness in a way that gives its subjective, phenomenal aspects their full due while at the same time taking into account the neural bases of subjectivity. /// Flanagan draws the reader into, and makes accessible, a world of exciting current debates among such philosophers as Thomas Nagel, Daniel Dennett, Paul Churchland, Patricia Churchland, and Colin McGinn. He masterfully weaves the latest insights from theory and research in cognitive neuroscience, neural Darwinism, connectionist brain architecture, and PET (positron emission tomography) scanners to reveal clear links between events that "seem a certain way" and the underlying neural activity.
