Describing Inner Experience?: Proponent Meets Skeptic (Bradford Books)

"In the Socratic Dialogue tradition employed by Plato and by Galileo for examining scientific questions and the suitability of new methods for data collection, this is a challenging contribution. Can we move beyond the discredited introspectionism of early studies of conscious experience with a procedure like the systematic experience-sampling methods that have emerged in the past four decades? Investigators of the issues of measuring ongoing thought and neuroscientists using brain imaging technology to study the nature of human planning, wishing and reminiscing will appreciate the careful analyses presented by the authors."--Jerome L. Singer, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Yale University (Jerome Singer )
