Non-physicalist Theories of Consciousness Hardback
by Hedda Hassel (Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences) Mørch
Part of the Elements in Philosophy of Mind series
Hardback
Description
Is consciousness a purely physical phenomenon? Most contemporary philosophers and theorists hold that it is, and take this to be supported by modern science.
But a significant minority endorse non-physicalist theories such as dualism, idealism and panpsychism, among other reasons because it may seem impossible to fully explain consciousness, or capture what it's like to be in conscious states (such as seeing red, or being in pain), in physical terms.
This Element will introduce the main non-physicalist theories of consciousness and explain the most important arguments for them, and consider how they each respond to the scientific and other arguments in support of physicalism.
