What is the significance of first-person perspectives, and how should they be integrated into scientific practices and methods? How do modern physics and neuroscience contribute to the quest for understanding consciousness? What are the ethical and political implications of the science of consciousness? Which practices assist the practitioner entering into altered states of consciousness, and what are the related benefits? What can the study of experience contribute to the study of consciousness? Can personal attitudes and reflections have a positive effect on the science of consciousness?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost all the contributions result from shared experiences, explored by participants in at least one of two consecutive workshops, where scientific discourse was integrated with experiential sessions.Preface\u003cbr\u003e1 Unapologetic Phenomenological Approach to the Study of Consciousness\u003cbr\u003eYochai Ataria\u003cbr\u003e2 Meditation and Self-Consciousness: Neuroscience, Neurophenomenology, and Possible Implications\u003cbr\u003eAviva Berkovich-Ohana\u003cbr\u003e3 Horizons of Examining Experience\u003cbr\u003eEma Demšar and Urban Kordeš\u003cbr\u003e4 Disentangling Consciousness from the Self: A Buddhist Contribution to the Mind Sciences\u003cbr\u003eGeorges Dreyfus\u003cbr\u003e5 Consciousness from the Inside\u003cbr\u003eStephen Fulder\u003cbr\u003e6 Indirect Phenomenology: Prereflective Self-Awareness and Intersubjective Interaction\u003cbr\u003eShaun Gallagher\u003cbr\u003e7 The Politics of Consciousness\u003cbr\u003eYuval Noah Harari\u003cbr\u003e8 What Is Conscious Vision Good For?
