Some mental events are conscious, some are unconscious. What is the difference between the two? Uriah Kriegel offers the following answer: whatever else they may represent, conscious mental states always represent themselves (whereas unconscious ones do not, at least not in the right way). The book develops this 'self-representational' approach to consciousness along several di...(展开全部)

Can neurophysiology ever reveal to us what it is like to smell a skunk or to experience pain? In what does the feeling of happiness consist? How is it that changes in the white and gray matter composing our brains generate subjective sensations and feelings? These are several of the questions that Michael Tye addresses, while formulating a new and enlightening theory about the ...(展开全部)

Conscious experience is one of the most difficult and thorny problems in psychological science. Its study has been neglected for many years, either because it was thought to be too difficult, or because the relevant evidence was thought to be poor. Bernard Baars suggests a way to specify empirical constraints on a theory of consciousness by contrasting well-established consciou...(展开全部)

'A clear-eyed, open-minded analysis of the problems of consciousness, and a wide-ranging synthesis of a variety of approaches. For those who want to join the race to model consciousness, this is the starting line.' Daniel C. Dennett 'With this model, the author sweeps through dozens of phenomena that are well known to students of sensation, perception, learning abstraction, lan...(展开全部)

The topic of this book is self-consciousness, which is a kind of knowledge, namely knowledge of oneself as oneself, or self-knowledge. Sebastian Rodl's thesis is that self-knowledge is not empirical; it does not spring from sensory affection. Rather, self-knowledge is knowledge from spontaneity; its object and its source are the subject's own activity, in the primary instance i...(展开全部)

It revolves around three key functions. It: introduces ...(展开全部)

In Kant and the Demands of Self-Consciousness, Pierre Keller examines Kant's theory of self-consciousness and argues that it succeeds in explaining how both subjective and objective experience are possible. Previous interpretations of Kant's theory have held that he treats all self-consciousness as knowledge of objective states of affairs, and also that self-consciousness can b...(展开全部)

该书是一本von Neumann关于“自复制自动机”的研究论文集，由von Neumann在密西根大学的助手Arthur Burk（大名鼎鼎的John Holland的博士导师）整理编辑。 这本书的意义不仅仅在于它实际上开创了“人工生命”、“细胞自动机”等多门复杂性研究的分支。更重要的是，该书将“自我复制”作为生命的一个本质特征加以数学建模的研究。而这套理论和可计算性理论、歌德尔定理以及热力学深深地联系到了一起。这一点也许对于我们研究复杂系统的人来说仍具有重要的意义。
