Consciousness Part I Consciousness and the Mind-Body Problem
Mind A Brief Introduction November 1, 2004 John R Searle
Philosophy often presents apparent contradictions between two compelling but seemingly incompatible views, such as a material universe versus the existence of minds, determinism versus free will, or objective moral truth versus moral subjectivity. The author describes this pattern as typical in philosophy and notes that while some find such contradictions exasperating, others—including the author—find them fun and challenging.
