Книга: Susan Blackmore «Consciousness»
Производитель: "OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS" Consciousness,`the last great mystery for science`, has now become 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 opening up 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 using illustrations, lively cartoons, and experiments. Topics include vision and attention, theories of self and will, experiments on action and awareness, altered states of consciousness, and the effects of brain damage and drugs.

Quotes
* Parapsychology seems to be growing further away from the progress and excitement of the rest of consciousness studies. [ [http://www.skepdic.com/news/newsletter74.html Skeptic's Dictionary Newsletter 74 ] ]
* If everyone understood evolution, then the tyranny of religious memes would be weakened, and we little humans might find a better way to live in this pointless universe. [ [http://www.guardian.co.uk/print/0,3858,5164417-111414,00.html Guardian | Life lessons ] ]
* The other key to my failures seemed to be belief. I was told that I didn’t get results because I didn’t believe strongly enough in psi, because I didn’t have an open mind! [ [http://www.susanblackmore.co.uk/si87.html The Elusive Open Mind: Ten Years of ] ]
* The way I really think is more like this “I am a scientist. I think the way to the truth is by investigation. I suspect that telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis and life after death do not exist because I have been looking in vain for them for 25 years. I have been wrong lots of times before and am not afraid of it”. [ [http://www.susanblackmore.co.uk/Chapters/Kurtz.htm Dr. Susan Blackmore ] ]
