Consciousness Unbound: A review, August 29, 2006
This review is from: Unbounded Consciousness : Qualia, Mind and Self (Paperback)
Though I rate the book highly, this is not to say that I agree with it in all particulars. It includes the best and most concise
survey of philosophical approaches to consciousness I have yet encountered, and was most helpful in clarifying my own thinking
on the subject.
I think that the present edition and most of the sources cited
therein skirt the issue of what consciousness actually is. We
have surveys of conscious-processes and speculative approaches
to them( and certainly I am nowhere near a non-tautological
definition of consciousness),but nothing suggesting what consciousness(qua: raw-awareness) actually is.
Because of the conciseness, I recommend this edition to anyone
who is interested in clarifying the notion of consciousness.
