Consciousness and Mental Life by Daniel N Robinson
Questions our approach to the study of consciousness and the way modern discoveries either mirror or contradict understandings reached in the centuries leading up to our own. Approaching the issue from both a philosophical and a psychological perspective, this work corrects many claims made about the success of brain science.
