About this audiobook

In The Substance of Consciousness, two distinguished philosophers deliver a unique and powerful defense of contemporary substance dualism, which makes the claim that the human person is an embodied fundamental, immaterial, and unifying substance. The authors present the most comprehensive, up-to-date work on substance dualism in the field, as well as a detailed history of how property and substance dualism have been presented and evaluated over the last 150 years. Listeners will also find: - A thorough examination of the recent shift away from standard physicalism and the renaissance of substance dualism - Comprehensive explorations of the likely future of substance dualism in the twenty-first century - Practical discussion of new and rigorous critiques of significant physicality alternatives - Extensive treatments of philosophy of mind debates about the roles played by staunch/faint-hearted naturalism and theism in establishing or presuming methodology, epistemic priorities, and prior metaphysical commitments The Substance of Consciousness will earn a place in the libraries of consciousness researchers, philosophical theologians, and religious studies scholars.
