Unlike other recent philosophical accounts of consciousness, Pred's analysis deals with the elusive and commonly neglected continuities in the stream of consciousness. Pred offers a general characterization and analysis of experience as well as a highly detailed interpretation of experience from within. Determined to make "conceptual contact" with the immediacy of actual experience, Pred carries forward the radical empiricism pioneered by William James (who coined the term "stream of consciousness") and draws on the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead.To help readers apprehend the formation of conscious thoughts, the intertwining of perception and action, and the working of consciousness in onflowing experience, Pred applies methods of analysis developed in John Searle's theory of intentionality to James's views, thereby showing how intentional states are embedded in the stream of consciousness. Then, calling on Whitehead's treatment of lived moments as acts of experience, Pred provides an account of consciousness that at once deals with conscious thoughts as they emerge from and function in embodied, socialized experience and illustrates how language distorts our understanding of experience and subjectivity. Finally, he details striking parallels between this account and Gerald Edelman's biological theory of consciousness, and, in contrasting the two, argues for a revitalized version of the experiental monism originally formulated by James. 001386192 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001386192 60010 $$aJames, William,$$d1842-1910. 001386192 60010 $$aWhitehead, Alfred North,$$d1861-1947. 001386192 650_0 $$aConsciousness. 001386192 650_0 $$aExperience. 001386192 650_0 $$aPragmatism. 001386192 650_0 $$aIntentionality (Philosophy) 001386192 653__ $$aPHILOSOPHY/General 001386192 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 001386192 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001386192 852__ $$bebk 001386192 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/5139.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001386192 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001386192 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1386192$$pGLOBAL_SET 001386192 980__ $$aBIB 001386192 980__ $$aEBOOK 001386192 982__ $$aEbook 001386192 983__ $$aOnline
