Here is a new broom come to sweep away the cobwebs, whether old or recently spun. It occasionally happens that someone in their twenties produces an astonishingly penetrating and mature examination of a difficult topic. Wolfgang Pauli achieved this in relation to relativity theory; so did Karl Jaspers in his General Psychopathology. Mulhauser has joined this select group with an account of the conceptual foundations of the present 'neuroscientific mainstream' picture of consciousness. The effort needed to follow some of his arguments is worthwhile as this is a definitive version, unlikely to be superseded by a better description of its field.
