书籍简介

意识是什么？大脑中的物理过程是如何产生自我意识的，以及像爱或恨、审美愉悦或精神向往这样深刻的感受的？

大卫·J·查默斯（David J. Chalmers）提出了意识的一个重要的新理论，这个理论拒绝了科学中普遍存在的还原主义趋势，同时对心智和大脑之间的关系提出了具有挑战性的见解。查默斯以发人深省的风格写道，意识体验必须被理解为一个不可还原的实体，类似于时间、质量和空间这样的物理属性，存在于一个基本层面，不能被理解为其各部分的总和。本书具有吸引力和

这本书为这一主题增加了一个新的视角，肯定会在未来几年内引发关于我们对心灵的理解的辩论。。

What is consciousness? How do physical processes in the brain give rise to the self-aware mind and to feelings as profoundly varied as love or hate, aesthetic pleasure or spiritual yearning?

David J. Chalmers unveils a major new theory of consciousness, one that rejects the prevailing reductionist trend of science, while offering provocative insights into the relationship between mind and brain. Writing in a thought-provoking style, Chalmers proposes that conscious experience must be understood as an irreducible entity similar to such physical properties as time, mass, and space that exists at a fundamental level and cannot be understood as the sum of its parts. Engaging and

penetrating, this book adds a fresh new perspective to the subject that is sure to spark debate about our understanding of the mind for years to come.
