Description

Explore the complex relationship between consciousness and evolution in this academic monograph by Professor Robert Kunzendorf. Published by Routledge as part of the Imagery and Human Development Series, this work challenges existing philosophical and psychological perspectives regarding the utility of the mind. Many thought experiments, such as inverted spectra and zombies, suggest that conscious sensations serve no specific function. Similarly, certain psychological studies have failed to find a link between vivid visual imaging and visual problem solving. Even theories regarding self-consciousness often suggest it lacks a functional purpose. This book provides a direct counter-argument to these ideas. In the opening chapter, Professor Kunzendorf introduces the post-Darwinian double-aspect theory to address these gaps. This text is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of psychology, philosophy, and human development, offering a unique theoretical framework to understand why conscious sensation and imagination exist.
