CONSCIOUSNESS LOCATED: YOU'LL WONDER WHERE THE YELLOW WENT
Book Review of Hardcastle on Locating-Consciousness

Abstract

I identify two morals in Hardcastle's book (1995). The main moral is that scientific investigation can provide an illuminating, explanatory theory of conscious experience. The subsidiary one is that the best way for such investigation to proceed is to combine psychological and neurophysiological research, incorporating more dynamical models and relying less on strictly classical computational models. I focus my critical attention on the main moral, but also briefly discuss the subsidiary one.
