There has been an extraordinary resurgence of interest in the
enigma of human consciousness among neuroscientists, psychologists,
and professional philosophers. Much work is aimed at accommodating
consciousness within the currently dominant physicalist world
picture. This book is a comprehensive and sometimes impassioned
attack to "biologize" consciousness by explaining its origin in
evolutionary terms and identifying mental phenomena with brain
processes; to "computerize" it by identifying mind with the
supposed computational activity of the brain; and to empty or
eliminate it by denying the reality of qualia. Raymond Tallis's
critique concludes with a long look at man--"the explicit
animal"--that makes the irreducible mystery of human consciousness
impossible to overlook or deny.
