In recent decades . . . . philosophers have moved in where angels
feared to tread. It is in the modern era of analytic philosophy that
intricate speculative webs have been spun about ways in which
consciousness may make its appearance in individuals. Utilizing
behavior theory, cybernetics, quantum mechanics or recent advances in
neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, philosophers have rivaled medieval
scholastics in speculating about the nature of consciousness. Link:
