What is consciousness? How does the subjective character of
consciousness fit into an objective world? How can there be a
science of consciousness? In this sequel to his groundbreaking and
controversial The Conscious Mind, David Chalmers develops a unified
framework that addresses these questions and many others. Starting
with a statement of the "hard problem" of consciousness, Chalmers
builds a positive framework for the science of consciousness and a
nonreductive vision of the metaphysics of consciousness. He replies
to many critics of The Conscious Mind, and then develops a positive
theory in new directions. The book includes original accounts of
how we think and know about consciousness, of the unity of
consciousness, and of how consciousness relates to the external
world. Along the way, Chalmers develops many provocative ideas: the
"consciousness meter", the Garden of Eden as a model of perceptual
experience, and The Matrix as a guide to the deepest philosophical
problems about consciousness and the external world. This book will
be required reading for anyone interested in the problems of mind,
brain, consciousness, and reality.
