This book offers a new theoretical framework within which to
understand "the mind-body problem". The crux of this problem is
phenomenal experience, which Thomas Nagel famously described as
"what it is like" to be a certain living creature. David Chalmers
refers to the problem of "what-it-is-like" as "the hard problem" of
consciousness and claims that this problem is so "hard" that
investigators have either just ignored the issue completely,
investigated a similar (but distinct) problem, or claimed that
there is literally nothing to investigate - that phenomenal
experience is illusory. This book contends that phenomenal
experience is both very real and very important. Two specific
"biological naturalist" views are considered in depth. One of these
two views, in particular, seems to be free from problems; adopting
something along the lines of this view might finally allow us to
make sense of the mind-body problem. An essential read for anyone
who believes that no satisfactory solution to "the mind-body
problem" has yet been discovered.
