Book Description:
|
The problem of consciousness is central to the perennial philosophical debate on the relation between mind and body; Robert Kirk offers a penetrating analysis of the problem, and suggests a new approach to solving it. He uses the notion of `raw feeling' to bridge the gap between our knowledge of ourselves as physical organisms and our knowledge of ourselves as subjects of experience.
