Back Cover Snippet: ‘… this book is the first extended treatment of the phenomenon of blindsight from a philosophical perspective. …’

Comments:

The book is material from the author’s Doctoral thesis… and if definitely reads like a thesis paper. The first half of the book uses convoluted words to explain things, but the second half is OK. Scrabble players, like me, might like the unusual word selection used throughout, but probably not English Second Language students.

Blindsight is new idea to me, so I’ll probably Wikipedia it next and maybe check newer books on that super-power. As for the consciousness part I am not sure if any of the books cited in the listings covered meditation. He should use works from the Noetics Institute.

Overall this book was enough reading effort that I will avoid any other published thesis book for a while.
