About
Celia Elizabeth Green is a British writer on philosophical scepticism, twentieth-century thought, and psychology. She won the Senior Open Scholarship to Somerville College, Oxford aged 17. In 1960 she was awarded a B.Litt. degree from Oxford University's faculty of Literae Humaniores, for a thesis, supervised by H. H. Price, entitled An Enquiry into Some States of Consciousness and their Physiological Foundation. In 1996 Green was awarded a DPhil degree by the Oxford faculty of Literae Humaniores for a thesis on causation and the mind-body problem. She is an Honorary Research Fellow at the Department of Philosophy, University of Liverpool. In 1968 Green published Lucid Dreams, a study of dreams in which the subject is aware that he or she is asleep and dreaming. Green's most widely read philosophical book is probably The Human Evasion, which has been translated into Dutch, German, Italian, and Russian.
