{"product_id":"minimal-selfhood-and-the-origins-rupert-glasgow-9783958260788","title":"Minimal Selfhood and the Origins of Consciousness","description":"In Minimal Selfhood and the Origins of Consciousness, R.D.V. Glasgow seeks to ground the logical roots of consciousness in what he has previously called the 'minimal self'. The idea is that elementary forms of consciousness are logically dependent not, as is commonly assumed, on ownership of an anatomical brain or nervous system, but on the intrinsic reflexivity that defines minimal selfhood. The aim of the book is to trace the logical pathway by which minimal selfhood gives rise to the possible appearance of consciousness. It is argued that in specific circumstances it thus makes sense to ascribe elementary consciousness to certain predatory single-celled organisms such as amoebae and dinoflagellates as well as to some of the simpler animals. Such an argument involves establishing exactly what those specific circumstances are and determining how elementary consciousness differs in nature and scope from its more complex manifestations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupert Glasgow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3958260780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783958260788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wurzburg University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.59d","brand":"Rupert Glasgow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991333044479,"sku":"9783958260788","price":45.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab6b23ef-f307-4f2f-9795-2342939fcecd.jpg?v=1683309701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/minimal-selfhood-and-the-origins-rupert-glasgow-9783958260788","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
