Indigo How Consciousness Arises: A New Theory of Mind Humans, Nature, and Machines | Erin Mills Town Centre
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Indigo
What is consciousness? How does it arise? When did it first appear in the history of the universe? What enables us to know that we are conscious? Is there a relationship between consciousness and quantum phenomena? Could a computer be conscious? When does a fetus become conscious? Did the universe originate with consciousness? Is there a Mind of the Universe? Could the mind persist after death? Is the Mind Immortal? weaves these and many other classic questions into a proposed resolution of the Mind/Body problem and the possibility of immortality of the mind. Dr. Goldberg, author of the best-selling Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple, suggests that human consciousness is simply the information in the human brain. All areas of the brain contain information and are conscious, even regions usually considered non-conscious. These areas are Jonah-minds , a concept that analogizes with the story of "Jonah in the Whale," about a man who is conscious inside a creature that doesn't know his thoughts. Similarly, all so-called non-conscious brain regions are conscious, even though we do not know their thoughts. They are Jonah-Minds. All information has the attribute of consciousness in different degrees, including the information in lower organisms and even inanimate matter. Consciousness is not an all-or-none phenomenon, but is a continuum from greater to lesser degrees of complexity. It is present wherever there is information. Consciousness permeates the universe. We are surrounded by a sea of consciousness that we are a part of in life and in death.
