Synopsis
The author takes the reader on a far-reaching tour through the philosophical ramifications of consciousness. He reveals how contemporary cognitive science and neurobiology have failed to explain how and why mental events emerge from physiological occurrences in the brain, and proposes that conscious experience must be understood as an irreducible entity that exists at a fundamental level and cannot be understood as the sum of its parts. In addition, the book features discussions of how the author's theories might be applied to subjects as diverse as artificial intelligence and the interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Industry Reviews
"Mr. Chalmers aims to restore the traditional dualist agenda that mind and body are separate. He argues that consciousness 'escapes the net of reductive explanation,' the kind of account given when scientists explain the whole in terms of its parts. The reader prepares for a leap into mysticism, but Mr. Chalmers instead produces a more startling assertion, that the extra ingredient needed to explain consciousness is a new scientific principle, one based on properties of information...."
New York Times Book Review - Nicholas Wade (12/29/1996)
