Concerning the Unity of Consciousness
Faith and Philosophy 12 (4):532-547 (1995)
Abstract
Ever since Descartes there have been philosophers who have claimed that the unity of conscious experience argues strongly against the possibility that the mind or self is a material thing. My contention is that the recent neglect of this argument is a mistake, and that it places a serious and perhaps insuperable obstacle in the way of materialist theories of the mind.Author's Profile
