Recenzje

The Matter of Consciousness is a thorough and comprehensive treatment of the knowledge argument, one of the most compelling and influential arguments against physicalism about consciousness. Torin Alter's treatment of this argument and the objections that have been raised against it is unsurpassed in quality and clarity. This book is essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in the contemporary case against physicalism about the mind.
