In Merleau-Ponty and the Embodied Mind: Perception, Flesh, and the Living World, Clayton Louis Turnage explores one of the most important philosophical challenges to ...

The most famous problem in philosophy of mind has been built on a picture of matter that physics abandoned a hundred years ago. Once you remove that picture, the problem turns inside out. For thirty years, philosophers have wrestled with the hard problem of consciousness: how does physical matter give rise to subjective experience? The question feels urgent, even unanswerable. But The Hard Problem of Matter argues that the question has been holding the equation upside down. Atoms are not things. The world is not built out of stuff. This isn't mysticism. It's what the founders of quantum ...
