What is mind? What is its relationship to the physical world? Is
consciousness a causative agent in the physical world? With much
progress being made in the neurosciences, many have thought that
these questions could be answered by reducing them to questions
about physical systems such as the brain. But this approach has
foundered on the core problem of consciousness: Why is it that some
brain processes are accompanied by conscious awareness? This
anthology points out new sources and unexamined paths of
consciousness research. By presenting a wide spectrum of
non-reductive theories, the volume endeavours to overcome the
dichotomy between dualism and monism that keeps plaguing the debate
in favour of new and more differentiated positions.
