Uriah Kriegel is Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Science, and Associate Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies, at the University of Arizona. He has published numerous articles on the nature of consciousness and related topics.
Kriegel's aim is to provide a comprehensive theory of phenomenal consciousness... it combines an impressive attention to the empirical side of the matter with a genuinely philosophical treatment. And though the book is quite long, it reads easily and is not repetitive. There are new ideas and arguments in every section * Joseph Levine. Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * Presents novel and interesting views on a number of the most central questions of the field, while developing an original and comprehensive theory. It is required reading for anyone interested in the nature of human consciousness. * Matthew Mackenzie, Times Literary Supplement *
