Consciousness Revisited

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the intricate relationship between materialism and consciousness, Michael Tye critiques the phenomenal-concept strategy that attempts to reconcile subjective experiences with a materialist worldview. He identifies four critical puzzles of consciousness, including the implications of the thought experiment involving Mary and the nature of the explanatory gap. Tye proposes new solutions to these challenges, aiming to alleviate the burdens faced by materialists in light of the shortcomings of previous theories, while also addressing broader philosophical issues surrounding consciousness.
