Synopsis

The Conscious Mind: In Search of a Fundamental Theory is an extended study of the problem of consciousness. After setting up the problem, David Chalmers argues that a reductive explanation of consciousness is impossible and that if one takes consciousness seriously, one has to go beyond a strict materialist framework. In the second half of the book, Chalmers moves toward a positive theory of consciousness with fundamental laws linking the physical and the experiential in a systematic way. Finally, he uses the ideas and arguments developed earlier to defend a form of strong artificial intelligence and to analyze some problems in the foundations of quantum mechanics.
