{"product_id":"panpsychism-peter-ells-9781846945052","title":"Panpsychism: The Philosophy of the Sensuous Cosmos","description":"Materialism asserts that the universe and everything within it, including ourselves, is a deterministic machine, trapped until the end of time on the rigid tracks of inviolable laws. Only the mechanisms of physics - forces, electrical charges, and so on - are consequential; nothing else matters. Experiences, such as the taste of honey, feelings, thoughts, choices: everything concerning the mind is an illusion, or is at best a useless and absurd epiphenomenon. This accessible and engagingly-written book is a serious philosophical work, giving solid reasons for rejecting materialism, and proposing an alternative metaphysical framework that is fully consistent with science. In the sensuous cosmos, our essence is that we experience the world in all its exquisite, sensual beauty and unbearable suffering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Ells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1846945054\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846945052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iff Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Peter Ells","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420321960191,"sku":"9781846945052","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2cafb97f-f042-4441-bf32-065070d133fb.jpg?v=1734634288","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/panpsychism-peter-ells-9781846945052","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
