Yet the most salient feature of individual lives--our day-to-day consciousness and experience of the world, or \"sentience\"--remains stubbornly immune to scientific explanation. This divide is called the \"mind-body problem,\" and it is centuries old. In this book, author Carey Carlson performs two valuable tasks. First, he lays out the mind-body problem in crystalline common-sense prose. Second, he proposes an intriguing solution based on the work of early-twentieth-century philosophers Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead. This book will be of interest both to general readers of science and philosophy and to those steeped in the literature.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The second edition includes additional arrow diagrams in Chapter 5 that fortify Russell and Whitehead's view of physics as a causal web of time-ordered events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Go to Publish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950073924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.39d","brand":"Carey R.
