How Matter Becomes Conscious

More about the book

Faye presents a groundbreaking perspective on the mind, proposing that phenomenal consciousness emerges through the interaction between organisms and their environments, rather than being solely a subjective experience or intrinsic brain properties. By integrating insights from evolutionary biology and cognitive science, the book challenges traditional theories of the mind-body problem. Faye argues for a naturalistic-evolutionary approach, aiming to bridge the explanatory gap and offer a unified view of reality that encompasses qualitative mental experiences within the physical world.
