Consciousness, "the last great mystery for science", remains a hot topic. How can a physical brain create our experience of the world? What creates our identity? Do we really have free will? Could consciousness itself be an illusion?
Exciting new developments in brain science are continuing the debates on these issues, and the field has now expanded to include biologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers. This controversial book clarifies the potentially confusing arguments, and the major theories, while also outlining the amazing pace of discoveries in neuroscience. Covering areas such as the construction of self in the brain, mechanisms of attention, the neural correlates of consciousness, and the physiology of altered states of consciousness, Susan Blackmore highlights our latest findings.

Moreover, her personal belief system is strictly neurocentred, hence materialistic. I find it dull and short-sighted. Some of her conclusions about what people think and feel in certain circumstances even come off as outright clownish, for example when she asserts that people experiencing "hallucinations" after the consumption of psychedelics/entheogens/hallucinogens "know" that their experiences are not real. She, accordingly, categorises these as "pseudo-hallucinations". One can only wonder whether she ever made the effort of talking to a "psychonaut", reading into the vast literature about this topic or, God forbid, try to have such an experience herself.
It's astonishing how far up the ladder people can get with such shortsighted, unoriginal and partly simply incompetent views.
Way too biased for an introduction
