by Harry Binswanger

In these three path-breaking lectures, Dr. Binswanger uses the distinction between the what (the object) and the how (the means) of consciousness as the framework for presenting a causal perspective on awareness. In this context, he explains new ideas he has developed concerning the nature of both the perceptual and conceptual levels.

Topics include: the primacy of the what over the how; the consciousness-brain relationship; the sensation-perception distinction; the integration of sensations into percepts; two views of awareness; fallibility and volition; introspection; the Kantian inversion; paralyzing the how; consciousness, values, and life: why consciousness must be selfish.
