Conceptions And Misconceptions Of Consciousness (1904) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781166398804)

Conceptions and Misconceptions of Consciousness is a book written by Ralph Barton Perry in 1904. The book explores the concept of consciousness and aims to clarify some of the common misconceptions surrounding it. Perry begins by defining consciousness as the state of being aware of one's own thoughts and surroundings. He then goes on to explore various theories and perspectives on consciousness, including the ideas of philosophers such as Descartes and Kant.Throughout the book, Perry argues that many of the popular conceptions of consciousness are flawed and that a more nuanced understanding of the concept is necessary. He explores the role of consciousness in perception, memory, and other cognitive processes, and argues that consciousness is not a single, unified entity, but rather a complex and multifaceted phenomenon.Overall, Conceptions and Misconceptions of Consciousness is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental aspects of human experience. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, or the nature of consciousness itself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
