I know we don’t give y’all enough to read here on TDG, so just to fill out the weekend a little more with a complete book, I recommend checking out Jeffrey Mishlove’s The Roots of Consciousness (online for free in HTML form):
The title for The Roots of Consciousness was inspired by a statement by cosmologist Arthur M. Young who cautioned against seeking only the flowers of consciousness. Although flowers provide moments of pleasure and delight, they are forgotten after they wilt and die.
This book is in four parts: the first looks at the history (and geography) of consciousness exploration, the second investigates the folklore, the third delves into the science of consciousness, and the final section provides some theories of consciousness. Snap exam on Monday, so read up…
