A Place for Consciousness: Probing the Deep Structure of the Natural World (Philosophy of Mind Series)
"A Place for Consciousnessis strikingly original, clearly written, tightly argued and does an excellent job of presenting a very distinctive, fascinating and promising account of causation and consciousness...Rosenberg's work is very refreshing; it takes a genuinely new approach without sacrificing the kind of 'rigour' and clear argumentation which is the backbone of analytic philosophy."--William E. Seager, University of Toronto at Scarborough"A Place for Consciousnessadopts a unified approach to the metaphysics of consciousness and causation, on which consciousness is intimately linked to the basis of causation in the physical world. Rosenberg develops his fascinating view with ingenuity and precision. Philosophers of mind and metaphysicians will learn much from a close study of this remarkable book."--Torin Alter, The University of Alabama"Gregg Rosenberg systematically explores the idea that consciousness is tied to an inner aspect of processes that science normally studies only from the outside. He develops this idea in unprecedented depth and detail, laying out an original theory of the roots of consciousness in the intrinsic nature of causation. The book is full of fresh ideas in metaphysics and the philosophy of mind. The result is a significant work of philosophy that makes compelling reading for anyone interested in the place of consciousness in nature."--David J. Chalmers, University of Arizona
