Kommentare: Metzingers blauer Sammelband [...] bietet den zur Zeit vielseitigsten und aktuellsten deutschsprachigen Einstieg in die Thematik. Obwohl als Studienwerkzeug konzipiert, kann der Band auch das Interesse weiterer Kreise gewinnen. M. Lenzen, Frankfurter Rundschau. In den letzten Jahren hat es keine Veröffentlichung gegeben, die so kenntnisreich und informativ in die Gegenwartsdiskussion um das Bewusstsein einführte. H. Breuer, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Dieser monumentale Band ist nicht nur ein weiterer Sammelband auf dem wachsenden Markt von Büchern über Bewusstseinsforschung, sondern eine interdisziplinäre Bestandsaufnahme der philosophischen Problemstellungen, die mit der gegenwärtigen Kognitions- und Bewusstseinsforschung verbunden sind, herausgegeben von einem der führenden Vertreter dieser Bemühungen [...]; ein hervorragendes Buch, spannend zu lesen, wohl fundiert, ohne falsche Versprechungen, das »Rätsel des Bewusstseins« bald (oder jemals?) zufriedenstellend klären zu können. M. von Brück in Dialog der Religionen. Alles in allem: Dieses Werk gehört zu einem der wichtigsten Bücher der letzten Jahre zum Thema des menschlichen Bewusstseins. Mind Management. Wer heute zur Frage des Bewusstseins etwas sagen will und dies nicht nur aus neurologischer Sicht, wird an diesem Buch nicht vorbeigehen können. A. Resch, Grenzgebiete der Wissenschaft. Der Band stellt in einer bislang kaum dagewesenen Konzentration die führenden Autoren auf diesem Gebiet vor. Diese äusserst hochkarätige Textsammlung sollte nicht nur in der aktuellen Philosophie des Geistes, sondern auch in der empirischen Forschung grosse Wirkung entfalten. R. Schatta in Bundeswehr-Verwaltung. Der Leser wird, begleitet durch eine überaus sachkundige allgemeine und mehrere auf die neun Teile des Buches bezogene spezielle Einführungen des Herausgebers, durch die Diskussionslandschaft geführt. Er wird mit den begrifflichen Grundlagen der Diskussion vertraut gemacht und auf die Gratwanderung zwischen physischen und phänomenalen Wirklichkeiten geschickt. A. Ziemke, Psychologie Heute

Abstract

What is consciousness? How do physical processes in the brain give rise to the self-aware mind and to feelings as profoundly varied as love or hate, aesthetic pleasure or spiritual yearning? These questions today are among the most hotly debated issues among scientists and philosophers, and we have seen in recent years superb volumes by such eminent figures as Francis Crick, Daniel C. Dennett, Gerald Edelman, and Roger Penrose, all firing volleys in what has come to be called the consciousness wars. Now, in The Conscious Mind, philosopher David J. Chalmers offers a cogent analysis of this heated debate as he unveils a major new theory of consciousness, one that rejects the prevailing reductionist trend of science, while offering provocative insights into the relationship between mind and brain. Writing in a rigorous, thought-provoking style, the author takes us on a far-reaching tour through the philosophical ramifications of consciousness. Chalmers convincingly reveals how contemporary cognitive science and neurobiology have failed to explain how and why mental events emerge from physiological occurrences in the brain. He proposes instead that conscious experience must be understood in an entirely new light--as an irreducible entity (similar to such physical properties as time, mass, and space) that exists at a fundamental level and cannot be understood as the sum of its parts. And after suggesting some intriguing possibilities about the structure and laws of conscious experience, he details how his unique reinterpretation of the mind could be the focus of a new science. Throughout the book, Chalmers provides fascinating thought experiments that trenchantly illustrate his ideas. For example, in exploring the notion that consciousness could be experienced by machines as well as humans, Chalmers asks us to imagine a thinking brain in which neurons are slowly replaced by silicon chips that precisely duplicate their functions--as the neurons are replaced, will consciousness gradually fade away? The book also features thoughtful discussions of how the author's theories might be practically applied to subjects as diverse as artificial intelligence and the interpretation of quantum mechanics.
