Nicholas Humphrey
Imprint Academic
How does the water of the brain yield the wine of  conscious experience? What is the link between bodily activity and our  inner feeling of what its like to be ourselves? In this highly  readable yet scholarly essay Nicholas Humphrey takes a fresh look at  the so called hard problem of consciousness and, in the light  of evolutionary history, proposes a radically new solution. His  controversial ideas are discussed and challenged by leading figures in  the philosophy of mind, including Andy Clark,    <P>Daniel Dennett, Naomi Eilan, Ralph Ellis, Valerie Gray Hardcastle,  Stevan Harnad, Natika Newton, Christian de Quincey, Carol Rovane and  Robert van Gulick. This book is an excellent short introduction to the  on-going debate about the nature of consciousness.
