Unbounded Consciousness: Qualia, Mind and SelfThe enigma of consciousness fascinates psychologists, philosophers, neuroscientists and physicists.

In this book she puts forward an original and integrative theory of consciousness that argues for the inseparability of qualitative and non-qualitative aspects and for the restoration of the concept of psyche. |
