From The MIT Press Classics Series:
Consciousness and the Computational Mind
Ray S. Jackendoff

Table of Contents and Sample Chapters

In Consciousness and the Computational Mind, Ray Jackendoff probes one of the fundamental issues in cognitive psychology: How does our conscious experience come to be the way it is? In so doing, he develops an overview of the mental representations invoked by the language, visual, and musical faculties, and describes how they are used in perception, production, imagery, and thought. He then explores how these representations determine the character of conscious awareness, arriving at the "Intermediate Level Theory" of consciousness, an account strikingly different from and more empirically adequate than the many previous theories examined in the book.

About the Author

Ray Jackendoff is Professor in the Program in Linguistics and Cognitive Science at Brandeis University.
