Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Conversations on Consciousness is just that - a series of twenty lively and challenging conversations between Sue Blackmore and some of the world's leading philosophers and scientists. Written in a colloquial and engaging style the book records the conversations Sue had when she met these influen…tial thinkers, whether at conferences in Arizona or Antwerp, or in their labs or homes in Oxford or San Diego. The conversations bring out their very different personalities and styles and reveal a wealth of fascinating detail about their theories and beliefs. Why is consciousness such a special and difficult issue for twenty-first century science? Sue, herself a researcher into this controversial and difficult topic, begins by asking each of her colleagues this simple question and is immediately plunged into the depths of the debate: How do the subjective experiences we call consciousness arise from the physical brain? Is this even the right question to ask? Can zombies - people who behave outwardly just like others but have no inner mental life - exist? What can dreams tell us about consciousness? Should we all be learning to meditate? Do we have free will, and if not is it possible to live without it? With an introduction setting out the broad structure of the debate on consciousness, and an extensive glossary, this book provides an engaging and accessible account of the most challenging problem of all, through the words of some of the leading figures involved in seeking to solve it. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

1p, 12mo. In fair condition, lightly aged and creased. Folded once. The salutation 'Dear B. J.' and valediction 'Yours | Jack' are in Priestley's autograph; the rest is typed. Maire Lynd's letter was 'a delight surprise', Priestley being unaware that her son was 'in the film business'. He continues: 'There is probably a good boo…k to be written about your parents and their circle, with extracts from your mother's autobiography, but I must confess I do not know who would write it - unless you and Sheila [her sister] did it between you.' In Priestley's view some of Robert Lynd's 'best pieces are in SOLOMON IN ALL HIS GLORY'. He does not know 'if there is anything useful for you in my critical essay on him'.

Both in good condition, on aged paper. ONE: 2pp., 4to. He reminds Macqueen-Pope that two years previously he was 'kind enough to receive me at your Office and, after a long and most interesting chat on things theatrical (over an hour, as I recall!) you wrote into my copies of your "Drury Lane" and "Carriages at Eleven" two very…greatly appreciated inscriptions, by way of friendship'. He now has his 'delightful "Gaiety" and splendid 'Haymarket", and asks for 'another pow-wow' at 359 Strand. The recipient's 'Gaiety' has sent him 'rummaging through my old programmes (to stick inside the covers) - and, to my horror, I discovered that my acquaintance with theh Old Gaiety commenced 50 years ago next July with Teddy Payne & dear old Connie Ediss (bless her memory) in "The Messenger Boy". Ye gods! I feel almost a centenarian, thanks to that programme!!' He also discusses the 'Haymarket' book, Samuel Foote, and his own activities: 'I have an immense collection of Historic Singers' Records from which I sometimes broadcast over the air - & I write Articles on these great Artists for sundry little magazines here & in America, on occasion.' A postscript concerns 'Gordon Whelan (Albert's son) - a very old pal of mine, who you, too, know'. TWO: 1p., 8vo. He thanks him for making an arrangement to meet: 'I very much look forward to another chat on those days you and I knew so well - great times that have, alas, gone for ever'. There is a postscript on Macqueen-Pope's '"Gaiety" do at the Dorchester'.

1p., 8vo. Photocopied in black on light-green paper. In fair condition, creased and lightly-aged. Small photograph of Paul Harvey beside the title, above the following introduction: 'In a recent column Mr. Harvey, a noted commentator and journalist, strongly defended the law enforcement officer. With his permission the Bulletin…reprints this message which we think will be of interest to our readers.' Harvey's piece, reproduced over three columns, begins: 'Don't credit me with this mongrel prose; it has many parents; at least 420,000 of them: Policemen. | A policeman is a composite of what all men are, a mingling of saint and sinner, dust and deity.' Harvey, whose father was a policeman murdered when he was two years old, and who counted J. Edgar Hoover among his friends, wrote this piece at least as early as 1963.
