- Summary:
- It is widely agreed that consciousness does not any single cognitive phenomenon. It names different phenomena that belong to several levels of cognition, from the very basic or low ones, such as visual or auditory perception, to the higher ones, such as decision making, problem solving, and self-referential thinking. However, the gathering of distinct phenomena under that single label is not an accident. What unifies the range of cognitive wares in this diverse outlet is that central yet elusive notion of the availability of some feeling or subjective experience. This anthology of landmark essays includes contributions from long-established writers and influential newcomers.
