Overview

Psychology students are fascinated by consciousness but often find the topic puzzling owing to the different approaches within the discipline. In this text, researchers from each of the three main areas of study introduce their angle and lead the student through the basic debates and research to date, ending with suggestions for further reading. This book should be useful as a base for a course of lectures or seminars on consciousness.
