Race for Consciousness

"Consciousness is then divided into three types, active, passive, and self, each with its own brain site of origin and a special relationship to specific types of memory/present input combinations. All of this is pleasingly concrete and vastly more detailed in the book. Yet does it really answer the question of whether the bubble of activity is exactly the same as the thought? Over several years I have been posing this basic question--is the neuron the thought?--to medical students taking seminars with me; so far, the score is running fifty-fifty. With regard to the Hard Problem, the verdict on Taylor's book may be about the same. But with regard to the to the wonderful wealth of information he gives us, and the way he pushes theorizing in the field forward, one can have only an enthusiasm almost equal to Taylor's own."Taylor, John G. is the author of 'Race for Consciousness' with ISBN 9780262201155 and ISBN 0262201151.
