Book Club: “Conversations on Consciousness” by Susan Blackmore
This month's Book Club discussion features "CONVERSATIONS ON CONSCIOUSNESS: What the Best Minds Think about the Brain, Free Will, and What It Means to Be Human," by Susan Blackmore. The question What is consciousness? provokes many responses, ranging from jokes about psychedelic drugs to brow-furrowing discourses on life's meaning. Nearly everyone has an opinion, despite the lack of meaningful data explaining the phenomenon. Susan Blackmore posed this question to 21 leading scientists and philosophers who study consciousness for a living, compiling their responses into lively Q&A interviews.
