# Attention **Opening (not a real abstract):** Attention is a fundamental feature of the mind yet has languished in the backwaters of philosophy. Recent years, however, have witnessed a resurgence of philosophical interest in attention, driven by recognition that it is closely connected to consciousness, perception, agency, thought, justification, and introspection. As is becoming clear, attention has a rich philosophical significance. This is the first book to provide a systematic overview and assessment of different empirical and philosophical aspects of attention. Wayne Wu discusses the following central topics and problems: ! major experiments and theories of attention in psychology since the 1950s ! the neuroscience of attention, including basic mechanisms and models ! attention’s intimate relation to agency ! the phenomenology of attention **Authors:** [[Wayne Wu]]
