We know, more intimately than anything else, what it-s like to undergo a rich world of experiences: agonizing pains, dizzying pleasures, heady rage and existential doubts. But, despite the incredible advances of physical science, it seems that we-re no closer to an explanation of how this inner world of experiences comes about. No matter how detailed our description of the physical brain, perhaps we-ll always be left with this same question: how and why does the brain produce consciousness? This book is a short, accessible and engaging guide to the mystery of consciousness. Featuring remastered interviews and original essays from the world-s leading thinkers, Philosophers on Consciousness sheds new light on the most promising theories in philosophy and science. Beyond understanding the mind, this is a journey into personal identity, the origin of meaning, the nature of morality and the fundamental structure of reality.Contributors include: Miri Albahari, Susan Blackmore, David C
