A Postscript
"What is consciousness? This revolutionary book says that an answer is possible -- but only if we consider both reason and intuition. Pushing beyond the purely scientific, Robert E. Ornstein shows how a synthesis of these two sources of knowledge can bring about 'a more complete science of human consciousness with an extended conception of our own capabilities'." [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1975]
"This is an original and explosive book. It starts out by making psychology, the science of the mind, what it actually is -- as exciting and suspenseful as a good mystery story." --George B.Leonard.
"Reading The Psychology of Consciousness , I felt over and over that this was the book I had been waiting for." --Anthony Hiss (in The New Yorker , 19??).
"Good introduction to right-brain/left-brain functioning of human consciousness." --Henry W.Targowski (in Mark/Space , 1997).
Recommended.
