The Mystery Of Consciousness by Ronald Searle
The book argues that conscious experience is a real, causally active biological phenomenon produced by neurophysiological processes, rejecting both Cartesian dualism and simplistic computational accounts of mind. It emphasizes the irreducible first-person character of subjective experience while insisting that a scientifically informed naturalism can and should explain how consciousness arises from the brain. The author critiques popular reductionist and AI-based theories, clarifies concepts like intentionality and qualia, and calls for a rigorous, empirically grounded approach to the mind–body problem.
