Abstract
This chapter gives an introduction to the book. The topics discussed in this book are both consciousness and its explanatory use. This book has two structures. There are those topics explicitly addressed by each chapter. There are also the central but more implicit themes which give the book a unity and focus and which produce the major differences of stance and approach. Since most of the contributions of this book do not deal exclusively with one topic, they have not been explicitly placed in sections. However the ordering of the chapters reflects the main issues addressed by the chapters. These can be adequately captured as follows: the status of different aspects of consciousness; criteria for using the concept and identifying instances; the basis of consciousnes in functional brain organization; the relationship between different levels of theoretical discourse; functions of consciousness.
