The World in My Mind, My Mind in the World:

Key Mechanisms of Consciousness in People, Animals And Machines
Front Cover
2 Reviews
Ingram Pub Services, May 3, 2005 - Philosophy - 196 pages
Never one to dodge the big questions, Igor Aleksander tackles them head on in this latest book: Is there a ?real world? or is our awareness of one an illusion? Are animals conscious? Can machines be conscious? What is it to be unconscious? Does the ?science of consciousness? impinge on religious thought? How is consciousness affected by mental deterioration? Aleksander's technique is to refine the search for answers by the application of his five ?axioms? concerning consciousness, which he has already derived and set out in earlier work: Being a ?self? in an out-there world; Recalling and imagining being a ?self? in experienced or fictitious worlds; Attending to individually important things; Being able to decide what to do next; Having emotional feelings about things that are happening or being planned.
