Mind, Body and Self, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book is a unique collaboration of philosophers from across the world bringing together contemporary concepts of consciousness, the M¿ori conception of self, as well as Indian and Buddhist concepts of self and mental states. Contemporary concepts of consciousness include higher-order consciousness and phenomenological approaches. The idea behind this volume came from an international conference on 'Mind, Body and Self' held at Victoria University of Wellington; organized by the Society for Philosophy and Culture. The authors herein contribute to the relationship between concepts of self, mind, and body. The wide variety of contributors from across cultural backgrounds adds to a diverse and valuable conversation on the nature of human existence and thoughts of self. This book appeals to students and researchers working in philosophy and religious studies.
