Consciousness Science

This revolutionary treatise starts from one fundamental premise: that our phenomenal consciousness includes direct experience of value. For too long, ethical theorists have looked for value in external states of affairs or reduced value to a projection of the mind onto them. The result, unsurprisingly, is widespread antirealism about ethics. In this book, Sharon Hewitt Rawlette turns our metaethical gaze inward and dares us to consider that value, rather than being something “out there”, is a quality woven into the very fabric of our conscious experience, in a highly objective way.

"El cerebro vive en un cuarto oscuro". "Tal es el gran misterio al que nos enfrentamos", afirma Arsuaga en este libro en el que el sapiens y el neandertal afrontan el mayor desafío de su proyecto en común, el más complejo, el que supone abrir una puerta a lo ignorado. Vivimos con la paradoja de que, pese a los avances de la neurociencia en los últimos años, el cerebro, que rige nuestra conexión con el mundo, continúa siendo el gran desconocido.

This is not a self-help book, or a book of specific guidance. In fact, it was written because too many works that claim to help you find your way either disappear into meaningless abstraction or are so petty and particular they fall at the first hurdle, teaching control instead of acceptance. Come with Arthur and Chirag as they discuss the ways they have sought understanding and progress over time, both within and without.

Der vorliegende Text in Hörbuchform ist einer der früh veröffentlichten Werke Nietzsches. Darin greift er zum einen die Thematik auf, warum die geisteswissenschaftliche Bildung das Fundament von künftigen Generationen, Schullehrern und Universitätspersonal abbildet und in welcher Weise dieser Bildungs-Humanismus sich entwickeln und gedeihen, aber auch irritieren und verwirren kann und zwar sowohl Lehrende wie Lernende.

Cosmic consciousness is defined for our comprehension by whatever terminology and form that human minds can conjure up. Otherwise, infinite intelligence sustains everything. The unified field connects all mind and matter.
