Critical Consciousness : Expanding Theory and Measurement
Critical consciousness represents the analysis of inequitable social conditions, the motivation to effect change, and the action taken to redress perceived inequities.Scholarship and practice in the last two decades have highlighted critical consciousness as a key developmental competency for those experiencing marginalization and as a pathway for navigating and resisting oppression.This competency is more urgent than ever given the current sociopolitical moment, in which longstanding inequity, bias, discrimination, and competing ideologies are amplified.This volume assembles leading scholars to address some of the field's most urgent questions: How does critical consciousness develop?What theories can be used to complement and enrich our understanding of the operation of critical consciousness?How might new directions in theory and measurement further enhance what is known about critical consciousness?It offers cutting-edge ideas and answers to these questions that are of critical importance to deepen our critical consciousness theory and measurement.

Is everything consciousness?
The concept of everything being consciousness is a philosophical and metaphysical question that has been debated for centuries. Some philosophical and spiritual traditions argue that everything is ultimately a manifestation of consciousness, and that the universe is fundamentally interconnected and imbued with consciousness. Others may argue that consciousness is a property of living beings and does not extend to inanimate objects or the universe as a whole. Ultimately, the question of whether everything is consciousness is a matter of personal belief and interpretation of the nature of reality.
-
Is consciousness immortal?
The question of whether consciousness is immortal is a complex and philosophical one. Many belief systems and spiritual traditions posit the idea of an immortal consciousness or soul that transcends physical death. However, from a scientific and empirical perspective, there is currently no evidence to support the idea of an immortal consciousness. The nature of consciousness and its relationship to the physical body and brain is still not fully understood, and therefore the question of its immortality remains a matter of belief and speculation rather than scientific fact.
-
What is consciousness?
Consciousness is the state of being aware of and able to think about one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, and surroundings. It is the subjective experience of being aware and having a sense of self. Consciousness allows individuals to perceive and interact with the world around them, as well as to reflect on their own thoughts and emotions. It is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that is still not fully understood by science.
-
Can consciousness die?
Consciousness is a complex and still not fully understood phenomenon. While the physical body may cease to function and the brain may stop working, it is not clear whether consciousness itself can truly "die." Some philosophical and spiritual perspectives suggest that consciousness may continue to exist in some form beyond the physical body, while others argue that consciousness is a product of the brain and therefore ceases to exist when the brain dies. Ultimately, the question of whether consciousness can die is still a matter of debate and speculation.

Consciousness
This book presents a comprehensive theory of consciousness.The initial chapter distinguishes six main forms of consciousness and sketches an account of each one.Later chapters focus on phenomenal consciousness, consciousness of, and introspective consciousness.In discussing phenomenal consciousness, Hill develops the representational theory of mind in new directions, arguing that all awareness involves representations, even awareness of qualitative states like pain.He then uses this view to undercut dualistic accounts of qualitative states.Other topics include visual awareness, visual appearances, emotional qualia, and meta-cognitive processing.This important work will interest a wide readership of students and scholars in philosophy of mind and cognitive science.

Rethinking Consciousness : A Scientific Theory of Subjective Experience
Tracing evolution over millions of years, Michael Graziano shows how neurons first allowed animals to develop simple forms of attention: taking in messages from the environment, prioritising them and responding as necessary.Then covert attention evolved—a roving, mental focus separate from where the senses are pointed.To monitor and control covert attention, Graziano posits in his attention schema theory, the brain evolved a simplified model of it—a cartoonish self-description depicting an internal essence with a capacity for knowledge and experience.In other words, consciousness. That self model gives us our intuitions about consciousness and makes us empathetic social beings as we attribute it to others.The theory implies that uploading the data structure of consciousness into machines will be possible and he discusses what artificial consciousness will mean for our evolutionary future.

Consciousness Explained
In Consciousness Explained, Daniel C. Dennett reveals the secrets of one of the last remaining mysteries of the universe: the human brain. Daniel C. Dennett's now-classic book blends philosophy, psychology and neuroscience - with the aid of numerous examples and thought-experiments - to explore how consciousness has evolved, and how a modern understanding of the human mind is radically different from conventional explanations of consciousness. What people think of as the stream of consciousness is not a single, unified sequence, the author argues, but 'multiple drafts' of reality composed by a computer-like 'virtual machine'.Dennett explains how science has exploded the classic mysteries of consciousness: the nature of introspection, the self or ego and its relation to thoughts and sensations, the problems posed by qualia, and the level of consciousness of non-human creatures. 'Brilliant ... a torrent of stimulating thought' Richard Dawkins 'Revolutionary ... one of the most mentally agile, intellectually resourceful books you are likely to read' Guardian 'A masterful tapestry of deep insights ...Dennett has written a profound and important book that is also clear, exciting and witty' Douglas R.Hofstadter, author of Gödel, Escher, Bach

Divine Consciousness
The quest for freedom and equality has been a much broader and longer journey than most people realize, given it is still not achieved after 495 years!Divine Consciousness: From a Dystopian Diaspora to Afrofuturism, takes readers on a journey, from a point in time when the African Diaspora was just beginning, to a time yet to be determined-the future. For 340 years, Black people were the "Slave-Industrial Complex." We were subjected to absolute and unspeakable horror, brutality, and oppression with no abatement and for the next 155 years, subjugated by the Black Codes, Jim Crow laws, lynchings, voter disenfranchisement, oppression, police brutality, mass incarceration, injustice, and inequality; executed and maintained by a system of white supremacy. I contend that such experiences and existence are dystopian. I set-forth several analogies to dystopian films and literature, and I provide an in-depth analysis of our experiences and how and why we are in a dystopian state. As in some dystopian films, mostly science-fiction, there is often a way out, but not always for everyone. But, for this current dystopian reality, Black people desperately need to find a way out. In the book, I discuss several foundational references, namely Afrocentricity and ancestral memories, that are key to our journey out of this dystopia and to Afrofuturism. However, we need first to understand that Afrofuturism is not music, literature, art, or film exclusively. And, neither is it rooted in mysticism or myth or only found in Wakanda. In Divine Consciousness, From a Dystopian Diaspora to Afrofuturism, I will take you B(l)ack to the future, B(l)ack and forward, and share how Afrofuturism is real and attainable. The journey to Afrofuturism, however, requires self-affirmation, self-actualization, and self-determination. It also requires a transformation and elevation of Black collective consciousness. Then and only then, will you ascend to a divine consciousness-if you choose.

Do brains arise in consciousness or does consciousness arise in brains?
The relationship between brains and consciousness is complex and not fully understood. Some theories suggest that consciousness arises from the complex interactions of the brain's neural networks and processes. On the other hand, some argue that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe that the brain taps into. Ultimately, the exact relationship between brains and consciousness is still a topic of debate among scientists and philosophers.
-
Where is consciousness located?
Consciousness is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that is not localized to a specific region in the brain. It is believed to arise from the interactions of various brain regions and neural networks. While certain brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex and thalamus are thought to play a key role in consciousness, it is ultimately considered to be a distributed process that involves widespread neural activity throughout the brain.

Do dogs have consciousness?
The question of whether dogs have consciousness is a topic of ongoing debate among scientists and philosophers. While dogs exhibit behaviors that suggest they are aware of their surroundings and have emotions, it is difficult to definitively prove whether they possess self-awareness or a sense of self. Some studies have shown that dogs have complex cognitive abilities and can experience emotions such as joy, fear, and love, which may indicate a level of consciousness. Ultimately, the true nature of consciousness in dogs remains a complex and unanswered question.
-
Where does consciousness begin?
Consciousness is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that is not fully understood. It is generally believed to begin in the brain, where the integration of sensory information, thoughts, and emotions gives rise to subjective awareness and self-reflection. Some researchers propose that consciousness may also emerge from the interactions of neural networks and the body's physiological processes. The exact point at which consciousness begins is still a topic of debate and ongoing scientific inquiry.
