Toward a Science of Consciousness II: The Second Tucson Discussions and Debates (Complex Adaptive Systems)

Rating:
Summary: Great collection.
Review: This book is a landmark in consciousness studies. If anyone doubts that consciousness studies are multidiciplinary almost by definition, let him read this book. There is a little bit of everything for everyone. Quantum physics, neurology, cognitive science, psychology, plain out parapsychology. One cannot agree with everything one reads, but as a survey of the field as it stood in the 90's this is a jewel. A must for people interested in the study of consciousness, scientific or otherwise. I generalize these comments to the other 2 books, Towards a Science of Consciouness 2 and 3. This one is the most complete, however, and one can do without them.
