About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The fourteen essays collected in this book discuss the similarities and dissimilarities in the concepts related to consciousness from ancient to medieval, Enlightenment and nineteenth and twentieth century philosophy. … will be of interest to historians of philosophy. … I found this book an interesting read. There is a comprehensive bibliography, and both a name and subject index that will be helpful to researchers." (Peter B. Raabe, Metapsychology Online Reviews, Vol. 12 (33), August, 2008)
