The Psychology of Consciousness

More about the book

Robert E. Ornstein reexamines what is known about consciousness today & answers the question "What is consciousness?" thru a consideration of intuition & reason. He goes beyond the theory that creative impulses originate in the right side of the brain & rational impulses originate in the left side to show how a synthesis of these two functions can bring about "a more complete science of human consciousness with an extended conception of our own capabilities."
