More about the book
Challenging traditional philosophical views on reflective thinking and consciousness, Peter Carruthers utilizes insights from scientific literature on working memory. He posits that non-sensory propositional attitudes—including beliefs, goals, and decisions—are inherently unconscious and not subject to direct intentional control. His argument invites a reevaluation of how we understand consciousness and the nature of our mental processes.
