"... an excellent, very comprehensive survey and discussion of recent work in the philosophy of consciousness, with contributions from philosophers, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists, in the major aspects of an area with ramifications at least into epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics.
