Dialogue on Consciousness: Minds, Brains, and Zombies

John Perry revisits the cast of characters of his classic A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality in this absorbing dialogue on consciousness.

Cartesian dualism, property dualism, materialism, the problem of other minds . . . Gretchen Weirob and her friends tackle these topics and more in a dialogue that exemplifies the subtleties and intricacies of philosophical reflection. Once again, Perrys ability to use straightforward language to discuss complex issues combines with his mastery of the dialogue form.
