Preface
ix
Acknowledgments
xi
Chapter
1:
In which I introduce the ancient mind-body problem, explain why
I am on a quest to use reason and empirical inquiry to solve it, acquaint you
with Francis Crick, explain how he relates to this quest, make a confession,
and end on a sad note
1
Chapter
2:
In which I write about the wellsprings of my inner conflict
between religion and reason, why I grew up wanting to be a scientist, why I
wear a lapel pin of Professor Calculus, and how I acquired a second mentor
late in life
11
Chapter
3:
In which I explain why consciousness challenges the scientific
view of the world, how consciousness can be investigated empirically with
both feet firmly planted on the ground, why animals share consciousness
with humans, and why self-consciousness is not as important as many people
think it is
23
Chapter
4:
In which you hear tales of scientist-magicians that make you look
but not see, how they track the footprints of consciousness by peering into
your skull, why you don t see with your eyes, and why attention and
consciousness are not the same
41
Chapter
5:
In which you leam from neurologists and
neurosurgeons
that
some neurons care a great deal about celebrities, that cutting the cerebral
cortex in two does not reduce consciousness by half, that color is leached
from the world by the loss of a small cortical region, and that the destruction
of a sugar cube-sized chunk of brain stem or thalamic tissue leaves you
undead
59
Contents
Chapter
6: In
which I defend two propositions that my younger self found
nonsense
—
you are unaware of most of the things that go on in your head,
and zombie agents control much of your life, even though you confidently
believe that you are in charge
75
Chapter
7:
In which I throw caution to the wind, bring up free will,
Der
Ring
des Nibelungen,
and what physics says about determinism, explain the
impoverished ability of your mind to choose, show that your will lags behind
your brain s decision, and that freedom is just another word for feeling
91
Chapter
8:
In which I argue that consciousness is a fundamental property of
complex things, rhapsodize about integrated information theory, how it
explains many puzzling facts about consciousness and provides a blueprint
for building sentient machines
113
Chapter
9:
In which I outline an electromagnetic gadget to measure
consciousness, describe efforts to harness the power of genetic engineering
to track consciousness in mice, and find myself building cortical
observatories
137
Chapter
10:
In which I muse about final matters considered off-limits to
polite scientific discourse: to wit, the relationship between science and
religion, the existence of Cod, whether this God can intervene in the
universe, the death of my mentor, and my recent tribulations
