A Guide in the Form of a Lexicon to the Pseudo-Science of Cognitive Mechanics. The Lexicon shows the way in which metaphors, taken literally, have produced huge and spurious assumptions about the nature of consciousness. The journeying of terms between the mental and physical realms lies at the roots of the myth that modern neurological science has somehow explained, or will explain, or has advanced our understanding of, what consciousness truly is.

Review
In 55 pages Tallis ... exposes the muddles perpetuated by the cognitive science community. A work of radical clarity. -- Journal of Consciousness Studies, Vol.2, No.1, 1995
From the Author
Most neurologically-based biological and computational explanations of consciousness begin beyond the point where the real questions are to be found. The terminology starts on the far side of the answers. If this dictionary serves any purpose at all, I hope that, by showing the hollowness of the answers built into the terminology, it will restore the questions and the sense of mystery of human consciousness.
