About this book
Reviews
“For any reader wanting to find out how the philosophical debates between dualistic and identity theories and a variety of intermediate positions have unfolded over the last decades … this book is a perfect starting point. … This book makes clear that there is a great deal of opportunity for philosophers, neuroscientists and clinicians to learn from each other when discussing disorders of consciousness, dissociative states or the alterations of qualia … associated with synaesthesia or hallucinatory experiences.” (David E. J. Linden, Cognitive Neuropsychiatry, Vol. 20 (5), 2015)
