Opis

Consciousness is perhaps the most puzzling problem we humans face in trying to understand ourselves. Here, eighteen essays offer new angles on the subject. The contributors, who include many of the leading figures in philosophy of mind, discuss such central topics as intentionality, phenomenal content, and the relevance of quantum mechanics to the study of consciousness.

Recenzje

The fourth part of this collection is philosophically the most novel and exciting, assessing the possible resources of quantum theory for thinking about consciousness ... I recommend this collection, especially for Quentin Smith's provocative essay.
