The nature of human consciousness is a mystery that philosophers, artists, and scientists have struggled with for centuries. Is consciousness a purely physical phenomenon or does it transcend the material world? In this fascinating book, Alwyn Scott offers a new perspective-based exclusively on evidence from the natural sciences-in which materialism and dualism co-exist. The author, a distinguished pioneer of nonlinear dynamics, bases his argument on a hierarchical view of mental organization in which atoms give rise to molecules, neutrons form the brain, and individual consciousness leads to shared culture."Not only is the depth of his topics impressive, but the breadth is astonishing for such a concise book... Scott puts a cogent case against both vitalism and non-biological functionalism."-THE TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION SUPPLEMENT
