Over a period of many years, the celebrated English novelist Tim Parks and the Italian philosopher Riccardo Manzotti have been discussing the nature of consciousness. Not long ago, Parks suggested to his friend that they condense their exchanges "e;into a series of focused dialogues to set out the standard positions on consciousness, and suggest some alternatives."e; Fifteen of the resultant conversations were edited by Parks and published in The New York Review of Books online-one of its most popular features ever.Now collected into one slim but thought-provoking volume, the dialogues reveal the profound scholarship of the two men. Their talks touch upon Aristotle and William James, the Higgs boson and Descartes, and include topics such as Where Are Words? , The Body and Us , The Reality of Dreams , The Object of Consciousness , and finally Consciousness: What Is It? . For those of us searching for insight into some of life s most basic puzzles how do we think? how do we perceive one another, and ourselves? Dialogues on Consciousness will take its place alongside other classics of philosophy.

Once we came out of the jungle and found time to think of something besides food, sex, and shelter, we confronted the fundamental questions: what are we? Who are we? Is a person a body, a soul? How do we access the external world if we are nothing but brains encased in bodies?As neuroscientists map the most detailed aspects of the human brain and its interplay with the rest of the body, they remain baffled by what is essentially human: our selves. In most of the existing scientific literature, information processing has taken the place of the soul. Yet thus far, no convincing account has been presented of exactly where and how consciousness is stored in our bodies.In The Spread Mind, Riccardo Manzotti convincingly argues that our bodies do not contain subjective experience. Yet consciousness is real, and, like any other real phenomenon, is physical. Where is it, then? Manzotti''s radical hypothesis is that consciousness is one and the same as the physical world surrounding us.Drawing on Einstein''s theories of relativity, evidence about dreams and hallucination, and the geometry of light in perception, and using vivid, real-world examples to illustrate his ideas, Manzotti argues that consciousness is not a ''''movie in the head.'''' Experience is not in our head: it is the actual world we move in.

Wie wollen wir den Wert unseres Lebens messen? In Euro? In Herzschlägen? In der Zahl unserer Freunde oder Liebhaber? Die Einheit, mit der wir unser Leben messen sollten, ist Sinn. Aber was ist ein sinnvolles Leben und wo finden wir Sinn?Diese Fragen beschäftigen Menschen seit Jahrtausenden, denn sie stehen in direktem Zusammenhang mit der Frage, wer wir sind: "Wer ist Ich?" Mein Körper, eine unsterbliche Seele, ein denkendes Tier? Tatsächlich gehört das Phänomen unseres Bewusstseins zu den ungelösten Rätseln der Wissenschaft. Während die Neurowissenschaften unser "Ich" zu einer nützlichen Illusion erklären und uns mitteilen "Du bist Dein Gehirn", verfolgt das außergewöhnliche Autoren-Duo Hashagen/Manzotti einen davon radikal abweichenden, deutlich vielversprechenderen Pfad.Dazu liefert Riccardo Manzotti mit seinem Konzept ›Spread-Mind‹ das philosophische Fundament, während die erfahrene Autorin und Bankerin Anne Hashagen dieses auf unser alltägliches Leben anwendet. Die Spread-Mind-Theorie hebt die Trennung von Ich und Welt auf: Wir sind die Welt, die wir erfahren. Was das für unser Leben bedeutet, wie wir Sinn und Glück finden können und was Digitalisierung und Künstliche Intelligenz mit der Frage nach dem sinnvollen Leben zu tun haben, erfahren Sie in diesem Buch.++++++++"Ein bemerkenswertes Buch, das seine Leser mitnimmt auf die wunderbare Reise nach dem Sinn des Lebens." (Diana von Kopp/Psychologin & Autorin)++"The question is what is the question? Ein kleiner existenzieller Trip mit überraschenden Antworten auf die ganz großen Fragen." (H.P. Baxxter/Techno-Musiker/Scooter)++"War der Mensch nicht immer schon auf der Suche nach dem Glück? Nach Sartres Existenzialismus bietet dieses Buch einen neuen Ansatz, Sinn im Sein zu finden. Unterhaltsam und gleichzeitig ermutigend!" (Helmut Fricke/Fotograf)++"Mit diesem Buch können wir eine Menge esoterischen Quatsch überprüfen und einige alte Verwirrungen endlich loswerden. Dabei ist es auch noch lustig und hat eine Message, die mir gefällt. Harmonie, Freundlichkeit, Rebellion, Selbsterkenntnis – diese Begriffe bleiben mir als wertvoll hängen, ich schreibe sie mir gern zusammen auf ein neues Motto T-Shirt." (Inga Humpe/Musikerin/2Raumwohnung)
