A NEW SELF-REFLECTIVE SCIENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
This thought-provoking work offers a profound scholarly examination of how the process of objectification has come to limit our scientific and philosophical views of reality. The author proposes a new self-reflective interdisciplinary science of consciousness, one that recognizes subjective experience as a vital component of the activity of consciousness. By creating a bridge over the subject-object divide, Emilios Bouratinos hopes to open a door to a new kind of science, leading to both the betterment of research in many fields and the long-term assurance of human survival.

“This long-awaited and seminal book arguing for a self-reflective and interdisciplinary science of consciousness goes back to the epistemological roots of Western philosophy and culture to articulate a new and subtle relationship between science and philosophy . . . Readers will be richly rewarded by a careful reading of this philosophical and scientific tour de force—it is sure to count among the most defining and significant books of the decade.” —DAVID LORIMER, Program Director, Scientific and Medical Network

“This is an incisive and radical examination of the self-imposed limitations of contemporary science, and how to move beyond them . . .Bouratinos challenges us to ‘grasp what exceeds our grasp,’ in order to bring to birth a new kind of science that truly does justice to both the inner and outer dimensions of reality.” — JEREMY NAYDLER, author of “Goethe on Science”
