CONSCIOUS - ANNAKA HARRIS GEBUNDEN

What is consciousness? How does it arise? And why does it exist? We take for granted our
experience of being in the world. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound
questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious? How are we able to
think about this? And why should we? In this wonderfully accessible book  Annaka Harris guides
us through the evolving definitions  philosophies  and scientific findings that probe our
limited understanding of consciousness. Where does it reside  and what gives rise to it? Could
it be an illusion  or is it a universal property of all matter? As we try to understand
consciousness  we must grapple with how to define it and  in the age of artificial intelligence
who or what may possess it. An illuminating meditation on the self  free will  and felt
experience  Conscious offers lively and challenging arguments that alter our ideas about
consciousness?allowing us to think freely about it for ourselves  if indeed we can.
