Hardcover. Condition: New.

It again investigates a comparative account of modern understanding of the mindbody problem focusing on the ontological question of the emergence of phenomenal consciousness. The book, an end result of the multidisciplinary research, addresses the mindbody problem from the scientific and philosophical perspectives, and thus identifies the flaws in them, develops a concise Indian model, argues for an integrated unified theory of consciousness by mapping the Indian model with the scientific model, and raises additional research questions paving the way for improving the model. The volume commands high academic value and deserves attention from both academics and students of philosophy alike.…
