Paperback octavo, very good condition, top edge lightly foxed, minor edgewear. 216 pp. Collected essays on consciousness by Colin McGinn, professor of philosophy, Rutgers University. He supports the viewpoint that the brain-mind problem is too hard to ever be solved sufficiently. Consciousness cannot be explained by physical sciences, and nor can we propose a theory to fully explains the concept, despite its inherent naturalness. His analysis is very broad, including: subjectivity, intentionality, introspection, mental causation, hidden structue, psychphysiological laws and machine consciousness. (Paperback reprint edition.).

Inhaltsangabe

Can consciousness be fitted into a naturalistic worldview or is it inherently mysterious? In virtue of what does a physical organism come to have an inner conscious life? This book argues that we are not equipped to understand the workings of conciousness, despite its objective naturalness. Introspection does not reveal the hiddent structure of consciousness and it is this that joins experience to the material world.
