The author argues that what makes phenomenal experiences mysterious is that these experiences are extremely complex brain events. The text provides an accessible introduction to descriptive complexity (also known as Kolmogorov Complexity) and then applies this to show that the most influential arguments against physicalism about consciousness are unsound. The text also offers an accessible review of the current debates about consciousness and introduces a rigorous new conception of physicalism. It concludes with a positive program for the future study of phenomenal experience. It is readable and compact and will be of interest to philosophers and cognitive scientists, and of value to advanced students of philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a new approach to the study of consciousness, using information theory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers a valuable discussion of physicalism, of use in other disciplines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains an introduction to the main literature and arguments in the debate about consciousness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes an accessible overview of how to apply descriptive complexity to philosophical problems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54237274800472,"sku":"9781032334509","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032334509_17af4949-29b0-43da-b088-83175f782a8c.jpg?v=1768559409","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/consciousness-as-complex-event","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
