Culture and Consciousness: Literature Regained
'Culture and Consciousness' argues that the vast interdisciplinary boom in consciousness research has enormous implications for literary and cultural studies, and that the potential benefits of this research in the twenty-first century are momentous. Haney demonstrates that the debates in recent theory surrounding the questions of identity, truth, and language cannot be resolved through the mind or reason alone without taking into account the structure of consciousness.
