Mind and Cosmos:Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False

Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False

by Thomas Nagel ...

The modern materialist approach to life has conspicuously failed to explain such central mind-related features of our world as consciousness, intentionality, meaning, and value. This failure to account for something so integral to nature as mind, argues philosopher Thomas Nagel, is a major problem, threatening to unravel the entire naturalistic world picture, extending to biology, evolutionary ...

Consciousness and Fundamental Reality

by Philip Goff ...

Beginning with an empirically flavoured examination of the 'folk' concept of time, the book explores the ... Read more
