{"product_id":"what-is-consciousness-amy-kind-9780367332426","title":"What is Consciousness?: A Debate","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is consciousness and why is it so philosophically and scientifically puzzling? For many years philosophers approached this question assuming a standard physicalist framework on which consciousness can be explained by contemporary physics, biology, neuroscience, and cognitive science. This book is a debate between two philosophers who are united in their rejection of this kind of \"standard\" physicalism - but who differ sharply in what lesson to draw from this. Amy Kind defends dualism 2.0, a thoroughly modern version of dualism (the theory that there are two fundamentally different kinds of things in the world: those that are physical and those that are mental) decoupled from any religious or non-scientific connotations. Daniel Stoljar defends non-standard physicalism, a kind of physicalism different from both the standard version and dualism 2.0. The book presents a cutting-edge assessment of the philosophy of consciousness and provides a glimpse at what the future study of this area might bring.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutlines the different things people mean by \"consciousness\" and provides an account of what consciousness is\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReviews the key arguments for thinking that consciousness is incompatible with physicalism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores and provides a defense of contrasting responses to those arguments, with a special focus on responses that reject the standard physicalist framework\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an account of the basic aims of the science of consciousness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten in a lively and accessibly style\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a comprehensive glossary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Kind, Daniel Stoljar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367332426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367332426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.51d","brand":"Amy Kind","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169649160447,"sku":"9780367332426","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24b8545c-a623-46d9-94a1-4b38f12b2f13.jpg?v=1689654136","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-is-consciousness-amy-kind-9780367332426","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
