Shivendra Vikram Singh began his academic pursuits with an interest in the "hard problem of consciousness". He initially prepared for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) but shifted his focus to research at Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and has been associated with Panjab University. His work is deeply personal, stemming from a struggle with mental health issues and a desire to understand the nature of self. He credits Dr. Alok Bajpai as his "guru" for introducing him to the scientific study of the brain and mind. His research bridges Indian grammatical philosophy (specifically Bhartṛhari’s Vākyapadīya) and Western philosophical and scientific theories. He explores how language and thought are inseparable and how medication can alter thinking. He has completed several certifications in cognitive processes, psychology, and psychiatry from institutions like IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras.

Hardcover. Etat : New. This book follows an integrated approach to consciousness by mapping its philosophical understanding with several well-known scientific theories, while laying the groundwork for a psycho-philosophical model predicting real-life scenarios. It further looks at how different consciousness theories attempt to fill gaps in explanations and explore the first-person subjective experience, commonly known as qualia, shifting the focus from the third-person scientific objectivity. It again investigates a comparative account of modern understanding of the mindbody problem focusing on the ontological question of the emergence of phenomenal consciousness. The book, an end result of the multidisciplinary research, addresses the mindbody problem from the scientific and philosophical perspectives, and thus identifies the flaws in them, develops a concise Indian model, argues for an integrated unified theory of consciousness by mapping the Indian model with the scientific model, and raises additional research questions paving the way for improving the model. The volume commands high academic value and deserves attention from both academics and students of philosophy alike. N° de réf. du vendeur 160841
