ACCESS AND MEDIATION KARTONIERT (TB)

Recent years have seen a rise in interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the mind. However
relatively little emphasis has been placed on attention  its functions  and phenomenology. As a
result  there are a multitude of definitions and explanatory frameworks that describe what
attention is  what it does  and how it works. This volume proposes that one way to discuss
attention is by utilizing an integrative multidisciplinary framework that takes into
consideration aspects of attention as a means of accessing the world and as a mediator of
experience. It brings together contributions from cognitive science  philosophy  and psychology
in order to shed light on these aspects of attention. By including both theoretical and
empirical approaches to attention  this volume will provide (1) an innovative framework for
examining attention as something that mediates experience and (2) new perspectives on
foundational and defi nitional issues of what attention is and how it contributes to our
ability to access the world. By drawing together different disciplines  this volume broadens
the concept of attention. It opens up a new way of looking at attention as an active process
through which the world is disclosed for us.
