Onflow – dynamics of consciousness and experience

In Onflow, Ralph Pred supplies an account of the nature of consciousness that grapples with 'the raw unverbalized stream of experience'. Unlike other recent philosophical accounts of consciousness, Pred's analysis deals with the elusive and commonly neglected continuities in the stream of consciousness. Pred offers a general characterization and analysis of experience as well as a highly detailed interpretation of experience from within. Determined to make 'conceptual contact' with the immediacy of actual experience, Pred carries forward the radical empiricism pioneered by William James (who coined the term 'stream of consciousness') and draws on the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead.
