[SR: 12230360], Hardcover, [EAN: 9780907845300], Imprint Academic, Imprint Academic, Book, [PU: Imprint Academic], Imprint Academic, Over the last decade there has been a resurgence of interest in the scientific study of consciousness ― an area that has been largely ignored since the time of William James. This renaissance has primarily been stimulated by developments in PET, fMRI and other brain-scanning technology that enable scientists to pinpoint the neural correlates of conscious experience with ever-increasing accuracy. However, the study of conscious experience itself has not kept pace with these advances in third-person methodologies. If anything, the standard approaches to examining the 'view from within' involve little more than cataloging its readily accessible components. Thus the study of lived subjective experience is still at the level of Aristotelian science. This has led many to deny that there could possibly be such a thing as a truly scientific study of conscious experience, or at least to ask: can one be objective about the subjective? Drawing on a wide range of approaches ― from phenomenology to meditation ― THE VIEW FROM WITHIN examines the possibility of a disciplined approach to the study of subjective states. The focus is on the practical issues i, 11119, Psychology & Counseling, 11121, Adolescent Psychology, 11130, Applied Psychology, 11132, Child Psychology, 11149, Counseling, 11160, Creativity & Genius, 11162, Developmental Psychology, 11172, Experimental Psychology, 11173, Forensic Psychology, 11177, History, 16311181, Medicine & Psychology, 11186, Mental Illness, 11164, Neuropsychology, 11189, Occupational & Organizational, 11192, Pathologies, 11194, Personality, 11196, Physiological Aspects, 227701, Psychiatry, 11199, Psychoanalysis, 11201, Psychopharmacology, 11203, Psychotherapy, TA & NLP, 11205, Reference, 11207, Research, 11209, Sexuality, 11223, Social Psychology & Interactions, 11229, Testing & Measurement, 10, Health, Fitness & Dieting, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 573358, Cognitive Psychology, 226685, Behavioral Sciences, 75, Science & Math, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 15811861, Cognitive, 6511980011, Psychology, 173514, Medical Books, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 11019, Philosophy, 11021, Aesthetics, 15811681, Analytic Philosophy, 11023, Consciousness & Thought, 886132, Criticism, 11025, Eastern, 11035, Epistemology, 11037, Ethics & Morality, 11041, Free Will & Determinism, 11045, Good & Evil, 11047, Greek & Roman, 11049, History & Surveys, 11053, Logic & Language, 11054, Medieval Thought, 11055, Metaphysics, 15811591, Methodology, 11057, Modern, 11059, Modern Renaissance, 886134, Movements, 11065, Political, 11070, Reference, 11072, Religious, 15811601, Social Philosophy, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books<

Scientific study of the brain has come a long way since the days of mapping bumps on heads. Investigating the brain "from the outside" has made dramatic advances, with brain scanning technology, such as PET and fMRI, bringing great precision to results. However, examining the "view from within" the brain has not kept such a dramatic pace. This book presents results of first-person investigations, that examines the conscious mind "from the inside". Psychology, philosophy and contemplative religious traditions all contribute to the range of methods used to examine the mind as precise and reliably as the weights and measures of physical science.Soort: Met illustraties; Taal: Engels; Afmetingen: 0x0x0 mm; Gewicht: 0,00 gram; Verschijningsdatum: juni 2001; ISBN10: 0907845304; ISBN13: 9780907845300; , Engelstalig | Hardcover | 2001, Mens & Maatschappij, Filosofie, Sociale wetenschappen, Psychologie, Psychologie & Stoornissen, Psychologie & Psychiatrie, Imprint Academic<
