Consciousness, Attention & Meaning (Psychology Research Progress Series)

This book presents a comprehensive theoretical framework that explains both human consciousness and meanings through the working of attention. By arguing for a first-person approach to consciousness, this book offers a critical overview of the major theories and empirical findings on consciousness and attention, and exemplifies how one of the most difficult and fundamental conscious experiences to account for, that is, time, can be analysed by adopting the kind of semantics developed within the presented theoretical framework: Attentional Semantics.
