Introduction: From Brain to general Intellect: Commentary on the Mediations of Consciousness
Alberto López Cuenca

There is enough of it. There is an overwhelming amount of literature about the nature of consciousness and its riddles. One must necessarily go through it if interested in the philosophical and scientific details of these debates. This short book then cannot purport to be neither an exhaustive introduction nor a developed stance on the discussions about the issue of consciousness –the problem of the mind-body relationship, the reduction of mental states to brain states or the attribution of consciousness to single individuals. That can be found somewhere else. What this book might be regarding these debates is a call to pay attention to the current ways in which some of the scientific discussions about consciousness are framed. Continue
