ABSTRACT
This book has focused on three general topics. Chapters 1–4 introduced the dominant philosophical accounts of conscious properties and reduction and some of the philosophical difficulties that conscious properties and reduction pose. In Chapters 5–8, we introduced some of the recent neuropsychological and other neuroscientific findings about conscious properties and suggested how those findings have been used to help understand some of the standard philosophical difficulties with reducing conscious properties to something physical. And in Chapters 9–12, we introduced some of the current philosophical thinking about conscious properties that promises to stir up trouble about both the dominant philosophical views and the findings from the neurosciences.
