--- abstract: "This commentary is a plea to re-read after five years one, as it seems, almost forgotten book which has nevertheless clearly influenced the development of empirical approaches to consciousness. The book provides an illuminating look at the early period to the modern revival of consciousness research. Its subtitle 'Psychological and Philosophical Essays' describes the book's range precisely. Early attempts to disect the mystery of consciousness and many themes that are still preoccupying modern consciousness research are covered. While some areas of research have been progressed, theoretical views have not changed dramatically, and this book still seems a good guide to embark on a mysterious journey when exploring consciousness." altloc: - http://psyche.cs.monash.edu.au/v5/psyche-5-07-dittrich.html chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Dittrich given: W.H. honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1999-05 date_type: published datestamp: 1999-05-19 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/03/81 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 381 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/text_html.png;/381/1/consc97a.htm full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'consciousness, intentionality, psychology, demystification, mind-body dualism.' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:53:52 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 07 pagerange: 1 pubdom: FALSE publication: Psyche publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 8 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:27:09 subjects: - cog-psy - phil-mind succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: 'MORE MYSTERIES ABOUT CONSCIOUSNESS?
