About
"Uniting analytic philosophy with Buddhist, Indian, and Chinese traditions, this collection marks the first systematic cross-cultural examination of one of philosophy of mind's most fascinating questions: can consciousness be conceived as fundamental to metaphysics? Engaging in debates concerning panpsychism, emergence and mental causation, realism vs. idealism and illusionism, it understands problems through the philosophies of East and South-East Asia, in particular Buddhism and Vedanta. Each section focuses on a specific aspect or theory of consciousness, and examines a subject area from different subject perspectives including philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science. These different angles allow us to gain insight into the intellectual challenges and problems of the study of consciousness and its place in the thought traditions of both East and Western philosophy. Raising new questions, it provides a more global and holistic understanding of consciousness, presenting a stimulating and original contribution to contemporary consciousness and the metaphysics of mind."--
