Why Are We Conscious?

This book attempts to see whether the two worlds can be combined. Where the two worlds collide, science is often feeble and unsatisfying. It has nothing to say about the way that everyone is conscious and self-aware, and that many people see ghosts, communicate with spiritual entities, have psychic experiences, believe in a life before birth or after death, and so on. Few human minds are satisfied by a scientific and materialistic view of the world, and many people yearn for something beyond it. As a result, many strange beliefs survive, not in the public scientific world, but in the private mental one. This book rescues some of them by a guessed extension of physical science.
