I: Qualitative event realism -- Dualism -- Representationalism -- Transparency -- Higher order theories -- Monitoring -- Functionalism -- Skepticism and the causes of qualitative events -- Epiphenomenalism -- II: Unified dualism -- Patterns as causes of qualitative events -- A possible future.
Focusing on sensory experience and perception qualities to present a dualistic view of the mind (called Qualitative Event Realism), this book doesn't conform to the dominant materialist views. Its theory is relevant to the development of a science of consciousness now being pursued, not only by philosophers, but by researchers in psychology and the neurosciences.
