i didn't finish the book yet, but i had to stop reading it for a while (it sometimes got me the feeling i used to have when doing math). An interesting book from a philosopher (with a background in math and artificial intelligence) on mind. He is intelligent and erudite, but i can't agree with everything.
Though i do like his attacks (i don't agree with all of them, i don't believe in zombies) on materialism and the fact he tries propose a scientifically acceptable theory of mind (the fact he tries is what i like, not the actual outcome for as far as i understand it now).
this book learned me:
-materialism is not what present data makes us believe at all;
-materialism is doubted by a significant number of modern scientists and philosophers
peace,
