Publisher's Notes
The Big Question used to be, "How can physical matter give rise to life? "Now it is, "How can physical matter give rise to consciousness?" All the related questions then tumble out: Are animals conscious? Can machines be conscious? How do I now you are conscious? This book is essential reading for all concerned with these things. Two dozen leading authors offer their widely differing and passionately held opinions. Among them, Daniel Dennett describe his work developing conscious robots work that others regard as plain crazy. Patricia Churchland vigorously attacks Roger Penrose for his quantum theories of consciousness. And David Chalmers explores what it might feel like to have one's brain cells replaced, one by one, by computer chips. This book also contains a listing of over 1,000 books and articles on the subject of consciousness, including sections on philosophy of mind, cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, and machine consciousness.

Sex, Ecology, Spirituality
by Ken Wilber
In a tour de force of scholarship and vision, Ken Wilber presents an extraordinary view of human potential and its place in the larger Kosmos. Wilber traces the course of evolution from matter to life to mind, and describes the common patterns that evolution takes in all three of these domains. In each case, evolution has a "direction," a tendency to produce more highly organized patterns. The "spirit of evolution" lies in its directionality: order out of chaos. After arriving at the emergence of mind, Wilber traces the evolution of human consciousness through its major stages of growth and development, pointing out that at each stage there is the "dialectic of progress"-every increase in consciousness is bought at a price: new freedom also means new license to choose destruction and new ways to implement disaster. He particularly focuses on the rise of modernity and postmodernity-what they mean, how they relate to gender issues, to psychotherapy, to ecological concerns, and to various liberation movements, and, most important, how the modern and postmodern world can even conceive of Spirit. How can spiritual concerns be integrated with the massive developments of the modern world? Where is God, where the Goddess?
I Am a Strange Loop
by Douglas R. Hofstadter
An original, endlessly thought-provoking, and controversial look at the nature of consciousness and identity argues that the key to understanding selves and consciousness is the "strange loop," a special kind of abstract feedback loop inhabiting our brains.
