“This is probably my favourite non-fiction book. It is very accessible and thoroughly convincing in placing consciousness firmly in the physical function of the brain, thus exposing the impossibility of the meta-physical.”
“My problem with Dennett's position on consciousness comes from my problem with his focus on neurophilosophy in general. I have a hard time accepting the proposition that everything in consciousness emanates from neurons, and that there is no "spiritual" consciousness that can be attributed to influences other than the neurological. But I continue to read him, because he's quite a challenge and makes one think seriously about one's belief systems.”
“When my grandson was born with a severe brain injury which resulted in cerebral palsy, I went on a quest to understand where consciousness resides. This is a satisfying book for those seeking, if not answers, then, possibiities.”
“general evaluationThis book is great, but in present day somewhat beside the point. The part against the cartesian theater was highly influential and important, the explanation of qualia unconvincing. Overall a book that sparks your love for neurophilosophy.”
