Where is this grand evolution taking us, and how can each of us participate in it more fully? on kosmic consciousness, ken wilber invites you to find outbefore the birth of the universe, there existed your original face, the limitless self that has been present throughout the unfolding of inert matter into life and that continues to dwell within us at every level of consciousness wilber pursues questions especially relevant to spiritual seekers: what are the most effective tools for "jumping" to the next level in your spiritual, creative, and cognitive development? does prayer work? how do women and men experience consciousness differently? is subtle energy real and, if so, how do we harness it? why is developing "witness consciousness" so crucial for self-realization? can we cultivate infinite love by loving one, finite person? what, exactly, does "kosmic consciousness" feel like?one of our greatest possibilities, teaches wilber, is "to balance and harmonize our experiences at whatever stage of growth we are in and to deepen our capacity for compassion, consciousness, and careoxfam bookshop newark this is not a book the ken wilber sessions" see oxfam website for delivery information read morethe holder is a little worn around the edges an unprecedented audio learning experience in 10 fascinating sessions

Oxfam bookshop preston colin mcginn presents his latest work on consciousness in ten interlinked essays, four of them previously unpublishedhe extends and deepens his controversial solution to the mind-body problem, defending the view that consciousness is both ontologically unproblematic and epistemologically impenetrablehe argues that traditional claims about our knowledge of our own mind and of the external world can be inverted; that atomism about the conscious mind might turn out to be true; that dualism is more credible the more extreme it is; and that all intentionality involves non-existent objectsthese are all surprising positions, but he contends that what the philosophy of mind needs now is 'methodological radicalism' - a willingness to consider new and seemingly extravagant ideasmcginn goes on to discuss the status of first-person authority, the possibility of atomism with respect to consciousness, extreme dualism, and the role of non-existent objects in constituting intentionalitysee oxfam website for delivery information read morehe also investigates the basis of our knowledge that there is a mind-body problem, and the bearing of this on attempted solutions

Combined with an evolutionary account of sensory representation, the result is a completely naturalistic account of phenomenal consciousnessdretske's theory of naturalistic representationalism is an approach to the study of consciousness that can pin down the slippery first-person aspect of our sensory and affective lifethe theory establishes a framework within which subjectivity can be studied objectively, explains the peculiar authority we enjoy about our own mental states, and provides a biologically plausible answer to questions about the function or purpose of consciousnessit distinguishes, in wholly naturalistic terms, between what we experience (reality) and how we experience it (appearance)"naturalizing the mind" skilfully a representational theory of the qualitative, the phenomenal, the what-it-is-like aspects of the mind that have defied traditional forms of naturalismchapter five addresses anticipated philosophical objections to the theoryone must understand what the mind's job is and how this task can be performed by a physical system - the nervous systemsee oxfam website for delivery information read moreoxfam bookshop preston how can the baffling problems of phenomenal experience be accounted for? in this discourse fred dretske argues that to achieve an understanding of the mind it is not enough to understand the biological machinery by means of which the mind does its jobin the first four chapters (the original jean nicod lectures), dretske focuses on what naturalistic representationalism reveals about introspective knowledge, intentionality, qualia, inverted spectra, the biological function of conscious experience, and the possibility of knowing what alien experiences are likecentral to dretske's approach is the claim that the phenomenal aspects of perceptual experiences are one and the same as external, real world properties that experience represents objects as having

If materialism cannot accommodate consciousness and other mind-related aspects of reality, then we must abandon a purely materialist understanding of nature in general, extending to biology, evolutionary theory, and cosmologythe conclusion is that physics cannot be the theory of everythingand the cosmological history that led to the origin of life and the coming into existence of the conditions for evolution cannot be a merely materialist historythe mind-body problem cannot be confined to the relation between animal minds and animal bodiessince minds are features of biological systems that have developed through evolution, the standard materialist version of evolutionary biology is fundamentally incompletean adequate conception of nature would have to explain the appearance in the universe of materially irreducible conscious minds, as suchno such explanation is available, and the physical sciences, including molecular biology, cannot be expected to provide oneoxfam bookshop preston in mind and cosmos thomas nagel argues that the widely accepted world view of materialist naturalism is untenablesee oxfam website for delivery information read morethe book explores these problems through a general treatment of the obstacles to reductionism, with more specific application to the phenomena of consciousness, cognition, and value

The slide from representational use to consciousness involves a change in the material of use, but not the form of representationmartin, an original and influential exponent of 'ontologically serious' metaphysics, echoes locke's dictum that 'all things that exist are only particulars', and argues that properties are powerful qualitiesmartin emphasizes the importance of non-conscious 'vegetative' systems, which provide clear examples of intentionality in the form of representational usea concluding chapter provides an argument for the view that an ontology of particular substances and properties leads ineluctably to monism: the bus we board with locke takes us directly to the world of spinoza and einsteinalong the way, we are led to understand the nature of minds and conscious states of mind in a way that avoids both reductionism (the idea that mental is reducible to the non-mental) and dualism (the idea that mental substances or properties differ dramatically from physical substances and properties)oxfam bookshop preston what are the most fundamental features of the world? do minds stand outside the natural order? is a unified picture of mental and physical reality possible? the mind in nature provides a staunchly realist account of the world as a unified system incorporating both the mental and the physicalsee oxfam website for delivery information read morehe also spells out the implications of this view for philosophical conceptions of causation, intentionality, consciousness, and the mind-body problem
