Product Description
Review
"With Consciousness: the Science of Subjectivity Antti Revonsuo has written a wonderfully clear, very well-organized and insightful introduction to the philosophical and empirical study of consciousness. ... He employs a crystal clear language and organizes his paragraphs and introduction of very diverse philosophical and empirical theories in an explanatory order. The shortness of the paragraphs makes it easy to digest new information. This is further aided by the short summaries and enumeration of discussion questions at the end of each chapter and the glossary at the end of the book. All of this makes this an excellent introduction in the study of subjectivity for the beginning student, but equally so for the conference participants in the big interdisciplinary conferences on consciousness." - Fauve Lybaert, University of Leuven, in Metapsychology Online Reviews
"Everybody talks about consciousness, but hardly anyone has written a textbook about it that could be used as the basis for a survey course. Revonsuo’s book closes that gap." - John F. Kihlstrom, Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley
"This book provides a major new discussion of consciousness, suitable for a wide range of readers. It is written in an admirably clear and scholarly way, and covers a wide range of issues thrown up by recent philosophical, psychological and neuroscientific research on consciousness. It would be excellent as a primary text for many introductory courses on consciousness, and I think this book will quickly become a major text in the area." - Steve Torrance, Visiting Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Research in Cognitive Science, University of Sussex
“Revonsuo’s book is very well organized and as such offers a highly systematic approach to what is often a chaotic assembly of conflicting ideas. Students will particularly like the range and the inclusion of chapters on altered states, hypnosis and meditation, etc., particularly as some of this is the author’s specialty.” - Guy Saunders, Department of Psychology, University of the West of England

Customer Reviews
The author applies scientific precision to investigate subjective human experience. He is able to refute misguided claims and explain what's really going on in our experience.
More importantly for me, he is able to locate where our experience occurs. This provides a crucial narrowing of focus to the actual processes involved. One learns what to examine intensely and what to exclude as irrelevant.
This evidence-based explanation provides the reader with the tools essential to evaluating the often contradictory claims made about human consciousness, most especially the phenomenological claims. This book does not advocate unscientific phenomenology.
