I'm not scared off by her willingness to entertain the possibility of panpsychism. She's not being woowoo about it. ( ) In the top ten books I've read this year. Such a fast journey through so many different topics. Just a bulleted list of enjoyable stops on this journey: - pansychism - consciousness as merely observation of events - double slit experiment - behavior vs sentience - split brain syndrome - zombie rats - locked-in syndrome - lots of citations - some healthy skepticism My one nitpick is I wish the author took some time to distinguish the word "sentience" from "consciousness" - but definition 1 here (consciousness) is satisfying follow-up and explains why maybe she ignored the word sentience: https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/a/4687 nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"What is consciousness? How does it arise? And why does it exist? We take our experience of being in the world for granted. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious? How are we able to think about this? And why should we? /In this wonderfully accessible book, Annaka Harris guides us through the evolving definitions, philosophies, and scientific findings that probe our limited understanding of consciousness. Where does it reside, and what gives rise to it? Could it be an illusion, or a universal property of all matter? As we try to understand consciousness, we must grapple with how to define it and, in the age of artificial intelligence, who or what might possess it. /Conscious offers lively and challenging arguments that alter our ideas about consciousness--allowing us to think freely about it for ourselves, if indeed we can." -- book jacket.
