About the Book

The topic of introspection stands at the interface between questions in epistemology about the nature of self-knowledge and questions in the philosophy of mind about the nature of consciousness. What is the nature of introspection such that it provides us with a distinctive way of knowing about our own conscious mental states? And what is the nature of consciousness such that we can know about our own conscious mental states by introspection? How should we understand the relationship between consciousness and introspective self-knowledge? Should we explain consciousness in terms of introspective self-knowledge or vice versa? Until recently, questions in epistemology and the philosophy of mind were pursued largely in isolation from one another. This volume aims to integrate these two lines of research by bringing together fourteen new essays and one reprinted essay on the relationship between introspection, self-knowledge, and consciousness.

Review :
"This is a fine volume. Anyone who cares about understanding self-knowledge, consciousness, and the relationship between them will want to lay hold of a copy."--Matthew Boyle, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "This volume, comprising specially commissioned papers by leading philosophers, represents some of the most rigorous philosophical thinking on consciousness and related issues ... Extensive references after each selection, informative footnotes, and a short index make this book required reading for all who are interested in the philosophical foundations of viable accounts of consciousness. Highly recommended."--H. Storl, CHOICE "The essays in Introspection and Consciousness make important contributions to the study of the formal structure of a theory of introspective justification." --Philosophical Psychology "This is an excellent collection of essays on introspection and consciousness...There is also an introduction where the editors explain the impetus for the collection and provide a helpful overview. The essays contain a wealth of new and challenging material sure to excite specialists and shape future research." -- The Philosophical Quarterly
