This book brings together several perspectives that reflect the way consciousness has turned into a primary topic of interest for contemporary science, with potential to condition its process of re-vision and evolution. In its chapters , we find fundamental questions, such as "What are the processes, properties and nature of consciousness', discussed from different and often non-convergent perspectives. An effort was made to integrate an array of positions as broad as possible, giving particular emphasis to authors whose propositions are frequently regarded as polemic by their peers, and may precipitate a change in the current paradigm of consciousness studies, if only moved from outsiders into accepted status by the majority of the scientific community. Indeed, at this point, albeit the impressive evolution it its study, there are more unresolved than definite answers to the questions consciousness can pose at all levels, whether the neurological, psychological or metaphysical.
