Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Dear fg, Though I cannot help you much in your search but I wish to point out that it is the physical universe that has evolved out of consciousness and hence is an epiphenomenon.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Namaste Shri Sundar.Thank you for that link. It is truly vast. I will pore over it in the months and years to come, but I doubt that I will be able to understand more than a smidgen!Meanwhile if you would like to spoonfeed me with some easy to understand bullet points, I shall be most grateful. From my preliminary reading, I did come away with one good knock against the consciousness as epiphenomenon argument - the lack of parsimony. Although I'm still quite hazy on this, it sounds like a promising line of attack to me.Regardsfg > Namaste,> > Prof. Chalmers has an extensive collection of papers:> > http://consc.net/online1.html> > Regards,> > Sunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
