Beskrivning

Pylkkanen uses concepts such as "implicate order," "active information," and "soma-significance" as tools to tackle well-known problems in the philosophy of mind such as mental causation, the hard problem of consciousness, time consciousness, and virtual reality. Pylkkanens eclectic approach combines new physics-based insights with those of analytical philosophy, phenomenology, cognitive science and neuroscience and proposes a view in which the mechanistic framework of classical physics and neuroscience is complemented by a more holistic underlying framework in which conscious experience finds its place more naturally.

Recensioner i media

From the reviews: "This is an excellent addition to Springer's (equally excellent) Frontiers Collection. ... I can highly recommend it to philosophers (of mind), philosophers of various sciences, physicists, (especially those working in foundation of physics), and anyone interested in the contemporary debate on consciousness. It would also provide a good way to become acquainted with the more difficult of Bohn's later ideas. The book assumes no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics."
