Consensus & Controversy (Falmer International Master Minds Challenged
Series, Vol 1) 1 edition Published June 1, 1986 by Routledge .
Written in English.
For nearly thirty years. Lawrence Kohlberg has amplified
his cognitive- development theory of moralization which has become prominent
in the analysis of moral development and its consequent application to
moral education.
This title offers a thorough and insightful exploration of human consciousness
in all its forms. "Consciousness Explained Better" offers readers
an insightful, down-to-earth, and above all, easy-to-understand exploration
of consciousness in its many facets and forms. Grounded in the author's
thorough understanding of the various aspects and development of consciousness,
this superbly written volume examines human consciousness from a wide
range of view-points - its historical evolution, its growth in the individual,
its mystical dimensions, and the meaning of enlightenment - giving readers
a greater understanding of how these aspects of consciousness combine
to create the kaleidoscopic yet lucid experience that is the essence of
humanity.
From the Back Cover
"Allan Combs has written
the finest book on consciousness in modern times, bar none. I give it
my very highest recommendation." --Ken Wilber, The Integral Vision
"This compact volume
brings forward the yearning, the brilliance, the awe, and the outrageous
audacity of our search to understand consciousness... in language that
speaks to the heart as well as the head." --From the Foreword by
Jenny Wade, author of Changes of Mind and Transcendent Sex
"Allan Combs brings
new firepower to consciousness studies, joining Ken Wilber and others
who are integrating contemporary research in neuroscience, evolutionary
psychology, and other fields with the lore of the sacred traditions. This
book is like Luke Skywalker's torpedo headed straight into the Death Star
of reductive materialism." --Michael Murphy, founder of the Esalen
Institute, and author of The Future of the Body
"Combs has a master
teacher's gift of making abstruse concepts highly accessible. I especially
enjoyed reading James re-played to me. It reminded me of András
Schiff's rendering of Beethoven sonatas." --Jonathan Bricklin, James
scholar and author of Sciousness
