THE SUNDAY TIMES MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR A DAILY TELEGRAPH BEST
MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR A TELEGRAPH BEST MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR A
NEW STATESMAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Faith, Hope and Carnage is a
book about Nick Cave's inner life. Created from over forty hours of
intimate conversations with Seán O'Hagan, it is a profoundly
thoughtful exploration, in Cave's own words, of what really drives
his life and creativity. The book examines questions of faith, art,
music, freedom, grief and love. It draws candidly on Cave's life,
from his early childhood to the present day, his loves, his work
ethic and his dramatic transformation in recent years. From a place
of considered reflection, Faith, Hope and Carnage offers ladders of
hope and inspiration from a true creative visionary.
The Evolution of Consciousness brings together interdisciplinary
insights from philosophy, neuroscience, psychology and cognitive
science to explain consciousness in terms of the biological
function that grounds it in the physical world. Drawing on the
novel analogy of a house of cards, Paula Droege pieces together
various conceptual questions and shows how they rest on each other
to form a coherent, structured argument. She asserts that the mind
is composed of unconscious sensory and cognitive representations,
which become conscious when they are selected and coordinated into
a representation of the present moment. This temporal
representation theory deftly bridges the gap between mind and body
by highlighting that physical systems are conscious when they can
respond flexibly to actions in the present. With examples from
evolution, animal cognition, introspection and the free will
debate, this is a compelling and animated account of the possible
explanations of consciousness, offering answers to the conceptual
question of how consciousness can be considered a cognitive
process.
