Overview
"William S. Robinson has written insightfully about the mind-body problem for many years. In Understanding Phenomenal Consciousness he focuses on sensory qualities such as pain, color, and sound and argues for Qualitative Event Realism, a dualistic theory of consciousness that opposes currently dominant materialist views. The theory is developed with attention both to contemporary philosophical arguments and to recent developments in psychology and the brain sciences." This provocative book will appeal not only to those who approach the mind through traditional philosophy, but also to those in many disciplines who have been working toward the development of a science of consciousness.Book Details
