<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Frontiers of Consciousness is a study of the problem of consciousness in a historic period of revolutionary change, and an authentic example of "interdisciplinary studies." The book contains a wealth of insight into the conceptual interrelationships between the work of the American philosophers who have been called the Builders (William James, Josiah Royce, Charles Peirce, and John Dewey) and the work of three great modernist poets (T. S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, and William Carlos Williams).<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>The studies in this book examine the way the problem of consciousness is treated by American philosophers and poets of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They are creative essays that recognize the presence of philosophical ideas in poetry, and perceive poetic qualities of thought and expression in the work of philosophers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Combines perfectly precise analysis with a literary form of expression, clearness of thought and language."-- "--Transactions of the C. S. Peirce Society"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br><strong>Stanley J. Scott </strong>is Associate Professor of English and Philosophy at the University of Maine.<br>
