In The Unity of Consciousness Tim Bayne draws on philosophy,
psychology, and neuroscience in defence of the claim that
consciousness is unified. In the first part of the book Bayne develops
an account of what it means to say that consciousness is unified. Part
II applies this account to a variety of cases - drawn from both normal
and pathological forms of experience - in which the unity of
consciousness is said to break down. Bayne argues that the unity of
consciousness remains intact in each of these cases. Part III explores
the implications of the unity of consciousness for theories of
consciousness, for the sense of embodiment, and for accounts of the
self. In one of the most comprehensive examinations of the topic
available, The Unity of Consciousness draws on a wide range of
findings within philosophy and the sciences of the mind to construct
an account of the unity of consciousness that is both conceptually
sophisticated and scientifically informed.
