The Conscious Mind
In Search of a Fundamental Theory
David J. Chalmers
The book presents a comprehensive argument for the importance of consciousness in the philosophy of mind, challenging materialistic views by proposing that mental states are fundamental to the universe, akin to space, time, and matter. It introduces the "hard problem" of consciousness, questioning how subjective experiences arise from physical processes, and explores the possibility of panpsychism and the existence of consciousness in various forms across the universe.
