Book Synopsis Metaphysics of Consciousness by : William Seager

Download or read book Metaphysics of Consciousness written by William Seager and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1991 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metaphysics of Consciousness opens with a development of the physicalist outlook that denies the need for any explanation of the mental. This "inexplicability" is demonstrated not to be sufficient as refutation of physicalism. However, the inescapable particularity of modes of consciousness appears to overpower this minimal physicalism. This book proposes that such an inference requires either a wholly new conception of how consciousness is physical or a deep and disturbing new kind of physical inexplicability.
