Consciousness: Creeping up on the Hard Problem
by Jeffrey Alan Gray
Category: Psychology

How does consciousness arise out of the functioning of the human brain? How is consciousness related to the behaviour that it accompanies? How does the world that we perceive relate to the real world? Between them, these three questions constitute what is commonly known as the Hard Problem of consciousness. This major new work from a distinguished scientist presents an accessible and compelling analysis of our conscious lives, with profound implications for human nature. To many, its conclusions will be very surprising.
