Description
This book offers a comprehensive overview of philosophical inquiry, exploring fundamental questions such as consciousness, the self, meaning, free will, the a priori, and knowledge.
The author proposes a theory explaining why the human mind struggles to resolve these questions, drawing on a naturalistic picture of human intelligence and its limitations.
With a focus on the intractability of these questions, this text provides a nuanced understanding of the scope and challenges of philosophical inquiry.
