The Papers On Consciousness Treat Such Conceptual Issues As Phenomenal Versus Access Consciousness, Dennett'S Theory Of Consciousness, And The Function Of Consciousness, As Well As Such Empirical Matters As 'How Not To Find The Neural Correlate Of Consciousness,' And (In An Expanded Version Of A Paper Originally In Trends In Cognitive Sciences) An Argument That There Are Distinct Neural Correlates For Access Consciousness And Phenomenal Consciousness. Turning To The Mindbody Problem, Block Defends Physicalism Against Max Black'S Argument Concerning Phenomenal Modes Of Presentation. The Papers On Representationism Consider 'Mental Paint' As Well As The 'Inverted Earth' Thought Experimenta World In Which Colors Are Reversed But There Is A Compensating Reversal In The Words That Are Used To Describe Them.Consciousness, Function, And Representation, Bringing Together Papers That Have Appeared Primarily In Journals And Conference Proceedings, Can Be Regarded As Block'S Most Complete Statement Of His Positions On Consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mit Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46561819066613,"sku":"DADAX0262524627","price":65.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/71dhsbkdfWL.jpg?v=1744635349","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/consciousness-function-and-representation-volume-1-collected-papers-a-bradford-book-collected-papers-new","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
