Double-weighted statement
Described by Sydney Shoemaker as “the most thorough discussion of the unity of consciousness there is”, The Unity of Consciousness provides a comprehensive account of its titular subject matter that draws on philosophy, psychology, and cognitive neuroscience. Part 1 provides a philosophical robust analysis of the unity of consciousness. Part 2 engages with the question of whether consciousness is unified, and includes detailed discussions of many disorders of conditions, such as schizophrenia and the split-brain syndrome. Part 3 examines implications of the unity of consciousness for the science of consciousness and accounts of embodiment and the self.
