Writing in an accessible yet thought-provoking style, philosopher David Chalmers takes readers on a far-reaching tour through the philosophical ramifications of consciousness, presenting thoughtful discussions on topics as diverse as artificial intelligence and the interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Review:
"Mr. Chalmers aims to restore the traditional dualist agenda that mind and body are separate. He argues that consciousness 'escapes the net of reductive explanation,' the kind of account given when scientists explain the whole in terms of its parts. The reader prepares for a leap into mysticism, but Mr. Chalmers instead produces a more startling assertion, that the extra ingredient needed to explain consciousness is a new scientific principle, one based on properties of information...."
Nicholas Wade, New York Times Book Review, 12/29/1996

The Conscious Mind: In Search of a Fundamental Theory (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780195117899) Chalmers, David J. Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Oxford University Press Inc, United States, 1998. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 234 x 155 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. What is consciousness? How do physical processes in the brain give rise to the self-aware mind and to feelings as profoundly varied as love or hate, aesthetic pleasure or spiritual yearning? David J. Chalmers unveils a major new theory of consciousness, one that rejects the prevailing reductionist trend of science, while offering provocative insights into the relationship between mind and brain. Writing in a thought-provoking style, Chalmers proposes that conscious experience must be understood as an irreducible entity similar to such physical properties as time, mass, and space that exists at a fundamental level and cannot be understood as the sum of its parts. Engaging and penetrating, this book adds a fresh new perspective to the subject that is sure to spark debate about our understanding of the mind for years to come.
