<p> Featuring many important updates and revisions, the highly-anticipated second edition of <i>The Blackwell Companion to Consciousness</i> offers a collection of readings that together represent the most thorough and comprehensive survey of the nature of consciousness available today. Chapters delve deeply into the wide variety of scientific and philosophical problems that arise from the study of consciousness—as well as the philosophical, cognitive, neuroscientific, and phenomenological approaches to solving them. <p> Along with updates to existing scientific readings reflecting the latest research and data, this edition features 18 entirely new theoretical, empirical, and methodological chapters covering such areas as integrated information theory, the resurgence in panpsychism, the renewed interest in more sophisticated first-person methodologies for the investigation of conscious phenomenology, and many others. Featuring contributions by leading experts in the study of consciousness, from across a variety of academic disciplines, the 54-chapter collection reasserts its role as the most authoritative and up-to-date volume on the subject. Illuminating and thought-provoking, <i>The Blackwell Companion to Consciousness, Second Edition</i> is an indispensable resource for those wishing to gain insight into the latest contemporary thinking on consciousness.
