The world is full of interesting thoughts on consciousness. The popular magazine Time in 2007 featured an article by the neurolinguist Stephen Pinker entitled The Mystery of Consciousness. This is strongly recommended reading, as the article is rich with case studies and has passed into the public imagination.
