Description
Galileo's Error: Foundations for a New Science of Consciousness by Philip Goff offers a radically new perspective on human consciousness. For decades, scientists have struggled to explain how brains produce consciousness, with some arguing that it's an "extra" phenomenon beyond physical workings, while others believe it can be solved through standard scientific methods. However, little progress has been made. Goff proposes an alternative theory, panpsychism, which posits that consciousness is a fundamental feature of all physical matter, from subatomic particles to the human brain. This thought-provoking argument is rooted in an analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of modern science and draws on the work of Arthur Eddington and Bertrand Russell.
