Disorders of Brain and Mind:

This authoritative new book details the most recent advances in clinical neuroscience, from neurogenetics to the study of consciousness.

Psychopathy, in both children and adults, is currently denned by high scores on
clinically based rating scales: for children, the Psychopathy Screening Device (
PSD; Frick and Hare, in press) and for adults, the Revised Psychopathy Checklist
(PCL-R; Hare 1991). Factor analyses of behaviours rated on both the PSD and
PCL reveal two independent factors: (1) an emotion dysfunction factor defined
largely by emotional shallowness and lack of guilt and (2) an antisocial
behaviour factor ...

The Unity of Mind, Brain and World

Current Perspectives on a Science of Consciousness

Issues concerning the unity of minds, bodies and the world have often recurred in the history of philosophy and, more recently, in scientific models. Taking into account both the philosophical and scientific knowledge about consciousness, this book presents and discusses some theoretical guiding ideas for the science of consciousness. The authors argue that, within this interdisciplinary context, a consensus appears to be emerging assuming that the conscious mind and the functioning brain are two aspects of a complex system that interacts with the world. How can this concept of reality - one that includes the existence of consciousness - be approached both philosophically and scientifically? The Unity of Mind, Brain and World is the result of a three-year online discussion between the authors who present a diversity of perspectives, tending towards a theoretical synthesis, aimed to contribute to the insertion of this field of knowledge in the academic curriculum.

A centrally located neural space organized as a rotation-based geometry is
partitioned into three nested zones around the egocentric origin: egocenter, body
zone (here represented by the head alone), and world zone. The latter two house
spatial maps supplied with veridical content reflecting circumstances pertaining
to the physical body and its surrounding world, respectively. In this mapping,
global sensory motion is reflected as movement of the body alone relative to the
world, ...

Mind, Brain and Narrative

Narratives enable readers to vividly experience fictional and non-fictional contexts. Writers use a variety of language features to control these experiences: they direct readers in how to construct contexts, how to draw inferences and how to identify the key parts of a story. Writers can skilfully convey physical sensations, prompt emotional states, effect moral responses and even alter the readers' attitudes. Mind, Brain and Narrative examines the psychological and neuroscientific evidence for the mechanisms which underlie narrative comprehension. The authors explore the scientific developments which demonstrate the importance of attention, counterfactuals, depth of processing, perspective and embodiment in these processes. In so doing, this timely, interdisciplinary work provides an integrated account of the research which links psychological mechanisms of language comprehension to humanities work on narrative and style.

The psychological work we have presented up to now is primarily based on the
idea of a simple, literal interpretation of language. The mapping made from
language input onto world knowledge, particularly scenario-based situational
knowledge, enables language to be interpreted. Yet often language is
multilayered in that it has to be interpreted in different ways. One example of this
is counterfactual worlds: depictions of worlds in which the 'facts' are essentially
false, or not realized, ...

Conspiracy and Romance

Studies in Brockden Brown, Cooper, Hawthorne, and Melville

Robert Levine examines the American romance in a new historical context. His book offers a fresh reading of the genre, establishing its importance to American culture between the founding of the Republic and the Civil War. With convincing historical and literary detail, Levine shows that anxieties about foreign elements--French revolutionaries, secret societies, Catholic immigrants, African slaves--are central to the fictional worlds of Brockden Brown, Cooper, Hawthorne and Melville. Ormond, The Bravo, The Blithedale Romance, and Benito Cereno are persuasively explicated by Levine to demonstrate that the romance dramatized the same conflicts and ideals that gave rise to the American Republic. Americans conceived "America" as a historical romance, and their romances dramatize the historical conditions of the culture. The fear that reputed conspiracies would subvert the order and integrity of the new nation were recurrent and widespread; Levine illuminates the influence of such fears on the works of major romance writers during this period.

Villainy and Vulnerability in Charles Brockden Brown's Ormond We are
frequently in most danger when we deem ourselves most safe, and our fortress is
taken sometimes through a point, whose weakness nothing, it should seem, but
the blindest stupidity, could overlook. Brown, Memoirs ofCarwin Charles
Brockden Brown's novels abound with mysterious villains who for a variety of
reasons have fled Europe and emigrated to America. Wanderers in the shifting
terrain of his fiction, they ...
