Description
Each of us, right now, is having a unique conscious experience. Nothing is more basic to our lives as thinking beings and nothing, it seems, is better known to us. But the ever-expanding reach of natural science suggests that everything in our world is ultimately physical. "In this book, Josh Weisberg presents the range of contemporary responses to the philosophical problem of consciousness. The basic philosophical tools of the trade are introduced, including thought experiments featuring Mary the color-deprived super-scientist and fearsome philosophical 'zombies.' The book then systematically considers the different philosophical theories of consciousness. Dualist and other 'nonreductive' accounts of consciousness hold that we must expand our basic physical ontology to include the intrinsic features of consciousness. Functionalist and identity theories, by contrast, hold that, with the right philosophical stage-setting, we can fit consciousness into the standard scientific picture. And 'mysterians' hold that any solution to the problem is beyond such small-minded creatures as us."--Back cover.
