Consciousness and the Great Philosophers addresses the question of how the great philosophers of the past might have reacted to the contemporary problem of consciousness. Each of the thirty-two chapters within this edited collection focuses on a major philosophical figure from the history of philosophy, from Anscombe to Xuanzang, and imaginatively engages with the problem from their perspective.

Written by leading experts in the field, this exciting and engaging book explores the relevance of the history of philosophy to contemporary debates and therefore is essential reading for students and scholars studying the history of philosophy, contemporary philosophy of mind and consciousness, or both.

Industry Reviews

"An impressive, wide-ranging, and extremely useful collection of essays on what the Great Philosophers would have had to say about the contemporary problem of consciousness. I found it both helpful and often fascinating."
Michael Tye, University of Texas at Austin, USA
