Purple Haze: The Puzzle of Consciousness (Philosophy of Mind)
"...a very rich work.  It contains, as preliminaries, a nice contribution to the irritatingly nontrivial problem of characterizing materialism, a useful discussion of mental causation, and a critique of David Chalmers' well-known conceivability argument for mind-body dualism." --Inquiry"Purple Hazeis a thought provoking, well-written and honest book. ...I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the problem of consciousness."--Metapsychology Online Review"The American philosopher Joseph Levine explores the 'explanatory gap' between physical sciences and consciousness: conscious phenomena cannot be explained in terms of material phenomena. Levine surveys a number of  modern theories of consciousness and finds them inconclusive. In Levine's opinion, that gap will not be filled any time soon." -- Piero Scaruffi,Thymos.com
