My Thoughts
Consciousness is at once the most familiar thing to us, and perhaps the most mysterious. Why does conscious experience arise, and what is its nature? Is it a physical entity, or something else entirely? To what extent are other lifeforms conscious, and could we ever recreate their experiences? These difficult questions form the basis of the so-called 'hard problem' of conscious experience, an area of research receiving growing attention.
Within philosophy, the debate around consciousness is fierce. Live for Joy by Anne Scottlin is designed to provide you with a thorough introduction to the problem of consciousness, as well as a well-rounded view of leading solutions to it. Writing in a rigorous, thought-provoking style, the author takes us on a far-reaching tour through the philosophical ramifications of consciousness.
A very good book. I have read many works in the field of consciousness research, so I guess I'm biased with a lot of background knowledge, but I'd say, this book is excellent. In the end, therefore, while this book is a good example of philosophical exposition, it ends up being very satisfying as an explanation for consciousness.
Highly Recommended!
