Consciousness and the Universe: Quantum Physics, Evolution, Brain & Mind (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781938024306)

Is consciousness an epiphenomenal happenstance of this particular universe? Or does the very concept of a universe depend upon its presence? Does consciousness merely perceive reality, or does reality depend upon it? Did consciousness simply emerge as an effect of evolution? Or was it, in some sense, always "out there" in the world? These questions and more, are addressed in this special edition.
