The Conscious Mind: In Search of a Fundamental Theory

This book initiated debates on panpsychism within the philosophical mainstream. Writing in an accessible yet thought-provoking style, David Chalmers takes readers on a far-reaching tour through the philosophical ramifications of consciousness. Throughout the book, Chalmers provides fascinating thought experiments that trenchantly illustrate his ideas, as well as thoughtful discussions of how his theories might be practically applied to subjects as diverse as artificial intelligence and the interpretation of quantum mechanics.
