Galileo's Error
Galileo's Error Foundations for a New Science of Consciousness Philip Goff From a leading philosopher of the mind comes this lucid, provocative argument that offers a radically new picture of human consciousness--panpsychism Understanding how brains produce consciousness is one of the great scientific challenges of our age. Some philosophers argue that consciousness is something "extra," beyond the physical workings of the brain. Others think that if we persist in our standard scientific methods, our questions about consciousness will eventually be answered. Some suggest that the mystery is so deep that it will never be solved. Decades have been spent in trying to explain consciousness using our current scientific paradigm, but little progress has been made. Now, Philip Goff offers an exciting alternative that could pave the way forward. Rooted in an analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of modern science and based on the early 20th century work of Arthur Eddington and Bertrand Russell, Goff makes the case for panpsychism, a theory which posits that consciousness is not confined to biological entities but is a fundamental feature of all physical matter--from subatomic particles to the human brain. InGalileo's Error, he has provided the first step on a new path to the final theory of human consciousness. AUTHOR: Philip Goff is a rising star in academic philosophy. He is a great ambassador for his theory of consciousness and is willing to spar with giants in his field such as ON SALE 8/6/2019 Daniel Dennett and Patricia Churchland. Always up for a debate, Goff has appeared on PANTHEON several philosophy podcasts and radio shows and has published numerous articles in HARDCOVER defense of his viewpoint.
