  abstract: Many scientists proclaim that consciousness is an illusion, a mere by-product of chemical activity in the brain. Scholars influenced by computer technology have further conceptualized consciousness as the "software" that regulates human functions, reducing our foibles and feats to complex but ultimately predictable robotics. /// In this book, J.F. Rychlak makes a case for the existence of consciousness as a state of awareness that allows individuals to weigh opposites and "form introspectively framed intentions" to guide their own behavior. /// To prove his point, Rychlak applies the tenets of Logical Learning Theory, which is based on a decades-long study of how the mind works. Scholars have recently acknowledged the lack of an adequate vocabulary for understanding consciousness. They will find that critical vocabulary in this work.
