The Nature of Consciousness

Exploring the dual nature of consciousness, Mark Rowlands presents a radical theory that distinguishes between the directing of awareness and the objects of that awareness. He critiques reductive explanations of consciousness, asserting that the phenomenal aspects of experience arise only when directed towards non-phenomenal objects. This thought-provoking discussion engages with various philosophical positions and has implications for the fields of philosophy of mind, psychology, and cognitive science, appealing to a diverse audience interested in the complexities of consciousness.
