"Costandi explains the neuroscience behind how we view our selves and our bodies, drawing from neurological studies on our sense of agency and free will, the neural correlates of mental representations, mirror neurons, and how the brain perceives timing and sensory consequences. He explores case studies of amputees with phantom limb syndrome, people with Body Integrity Identity Disorder (who have a desire to amputate healthy limbs they feel don't belong to them) and post-op transsexuals"--

Elizabeth Schechter explores the implications of the experience of people who have had the pathway between the two hemispheres of their brain severed, and argues that there are in fact two minds, subjects of experience, and intentional agents inside each split-brain human being: right and left. But each split-brain subject is still one of us.--

"Self-Awareness for Health Care Professionals provides ideas and models to enhance self-awareness across the soft skill spectrum-interpersonal skills, communication, social and emotional intelligence quotients, among other abilities, which enable people to appropriately navigate their social environment. Intended to arm health care professionals with the task of becoming self-aware, this robust pedagogy stimulates discussion, personal examination, and reflection. Written in a concise, engaging manner, each chapter gets to the heart of what readers need to learn about their self-awareness and how to apply that awareness in the professional environment. A broad range of topics are covered, including the foundations of self-awareness, personality, metacognition, emotional intelligence, career management, performance and anxiety, professionalism, and much more"--

"This book defends a new interpretation of Hegel's idealism as oriented by a philosophical and logical concept of life, with a focus on Hegel's Science of Logic. Beginning with the influence of Kant's Critique of Judgment, Karen Ng argues that Hegel's key philosophical contributions concerning self-consciousness, freedom, and logic, all develop around the idea of internal purposiveness, an idea that Hegel takes to be "Kant's great service to philosophy." In the first part of the book, Ng charts the development of the purposiveness theme in Kant's third Critique, and argues that the key innovation from that text is the claim that the purposiveness of nature opens up and enables the non-arbitrary operation of the power of judgment. She argues that this innovation is the key for understanding Hegel's philosophical method in the Differenzschrift (1801) and Phenomenology of Spirit (1807), a method in which the theory of self-consciousness plays a central role. With the aid of arguments from Fichte and Schelling, Hegel argues against Kant that internal purposiveness is constitutive of cognition's activity, shaping its essential relation to both self and world. In part two, Ng defends a new and detailed interpretation of Hegel's Logic, arguing that Hegel's Subjective Logic can be understood as Hegel's own version of a critique of judgment, in which life comes to be understood as opening up the possibility of intelligibility as such. She argues that Hegel's theory of judgment is modelled on reflective, teleological judgments, in which something's species or kind provides the objective context for predication. The Subjective Logic culminates in the argument that life is a primitive or original activity of judgment, one that is the necessary presupposition for the actualization of self-conscious cognition. Ng demonstrates that absolute method is best interpreted as the ongoing dialectic between life and self-conscious cognition, providing a new way of understanding Hegel's philosophical system"--

Adaption-innovation is a construct of preferred problem-solving style; adaptors work best within clear guidelines and prefer to "do things better", whereas innovators bridle at structure and prefer to "do things differently". Adaption-innovation bears considerable
putative similarity to self-monitoring and self-consciousness. In this study the relationships among these constructs were explored using the responses of 55 undergraduate students (48 females, 7 males) on the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI; Kirton, 1976), the Self- Monitoring Scale
(Snyder & Gangestad, 1986) and the Self-Consciousness Scale (Fenigstein, Scheier, & Buss, 1975). Higher adaption-innovation scores were significantly and positively associated with higher self-monitoring scores and significantly and negatively associated with social anxiety scores.
In addition, multiple regression analyses indicated that the facets of self-consciousness as well as self-monitoring significantly predicted adaption-innovation. The implications of examining cognitive style in relation to interpersonal attributes are discussed.

This essay argues that persons not only have nonconceptual bodily self-awareness and nonconceptual mental anonymous self-awareness but also, at least if they produce the expression 'I', nonconceptual mental egological self-awareness. It contains information of 'I' being produced by oneself. It is argued that this can be seen if we examine the constitution of referential self-consciousness, i.e. the consciousness of being the referent of 'I' oneself. The main argument is: A. It is not possible to explain the constitution of referential self-consciousness if it is not assumed that persons have nonconceptual mental egological self-awareness. B. It is possible to explain the constitution of referential self-consciousness if it is assumed that persons have nonconceptual mental egological self-awareness. C. Thus it is reasonable to assume that persons have nonconceptual mental egological self-awareness. The justification of the thesis that persons have nonconceptual mental egological self-awareness is presented while discussing Tomis Kapitan's analysis of conceptual egological self-consciousness. Conceptual egological self-consciousness contains infor­mation of being a subject oneself. It is argued that it is not possible to explain the constitution of referential self-consciousness with the help of Kapitan's interpretation of conceptual self-consciousness. However, it is possible to ex­plain the constitution of referential self-consciousness within the framework of Kapitan's account if it is assumed that persons have nonconceptual mental egological self-awareness.

Consciousness is the core of every living being and the key of human evolution. Consciousness is the core of the new paradigm now emerging in every field of science, culture, and spirituality. For centuries, consciousness has been divided from matter like the soul from the physical body. Now, at the historical beginning of globalized civilization, the exponential development of physics, genetics, neuroscience, and PNEI (psycho-neuro-endocrine-immunology) is making possible a new unitary understanding of the evolutionary process of living being from quantum proto consciousness to human self-awareness. This article will focus on the brain-mind psychosomatic human evolution, called neuroevolution of consciousness that is leading to understanding the direction of human individual and collective self-awareness evolution toward a planetary consciousness and a sustainable civilization.
