Sobre IBD

The ’problem of consciousness’ is widely seen as an intractable mystery - the biggest challenge humanity faces as it seeks to gain a ’complete’ understanding of both itself and the non-human world. But what exactly is consciousness? The aim of this book is to help to initiate a change of perspective and to thereby dissolve the seeming intractability of the ’problem of consciousness’.
