What is consciousness How does it arise And why does it existWe 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 weIn 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.
