What is consciousness? Why and when do we have it? Where does it come from, and        how does it relate to the lump of squishy grey matter in our heads, or to our        material and social worlds? While neuroscientists, philosophers, psychologists,        historians, and cultural theorists offer widely different perspectives on these        fundamental questions concerning what it is like to be human, most agree that        consciousness represents a 'hard problem'.The emergence of consciousness studies as        a multidisciplinary discourse addressing these issues has often been associated with        rapid advances in neuroscience-perhaps giving the impression that the arts and        humanities have arrived late at the debating table. The longer historical view        suggests otherwise, but it is probably true that music has been under-represented in        accounts of consciousness. Music and Consciousness aims to redress the balance: its        twenty essays offer a timely andmulti-faceted contribution to consciousness studies,        critically examining some of the existing debates and raising new questions.The        collection makes it clear that to understand consciousness we need to do much more        than just look at brains: studying music demonstrates that consciousness is as much        to do with minds, bodies, culture, and history. Incorporating several chapters that        move outside Western philosophical traditions, Music and Consciousness corrects any        perception that the study of consciousness is a purely occidental preoccupation. And        in addition to what it says about consciousness the volume also presents        adistinctive and thought-provoking configuration of new writings about music.
