another new book – “The Really Hard Problem” by Owen Flanagan
Written on October 16, 2007
A lot of “must read” books have been appearing recently, but I don’t want to overlook this one:
The Really Hard Problem: Meaning in a Material World (Bradford Books)
MIT Press has Table of Contents + Introduction available online.
Flanagan has written on consciousness and participated in the Mind and Life Institute conferences with the Dalai Lama.
The lectures on which the book is based are also online (for now at least) , and I believe they are basically the same thing.
