Conscious Mind in the Physical World

Conscious Mind in the Physical World

We have seen remarkable progress in our detailed understanding of the physical world from the smallest constituents of atoms to the remotest distances seen by telescopes. However we have yet to explore the phenomenon of consciousness. Can physical things be conscious or is consciousness something else forever outside the range of physics? And how does consciousness interact with physical things? A lively account of quantum theory and its puzzles Conscious Mind in the Physical World examines two developments in particular that have altered the context of discussions about consciousness. One is computer technology which allows us to make machines that can calculate at speeds far greater than the human brain while the other is the study of the microscopic world. The book explores philosophical issues such as idealism and free will and speculates on the relationship of consciousness to quantum mechanics. This resource will stimulate physicists with an interest in philosophy philosophers interested in physics and anyone fascinated about the waking state of the mind.

In what ways have the movement of goods people and ideas from India served to connect the world? Conversely how has India’s global history shaped the many boundaries and inequalities that have divided the world despite—and at times because of—the transnational connections often lumped together under the aegis of globalization? Through its emphasis on both linkages and boundaries India in the World examines the range of connections between India and the world in a truly global perspective. | India in the World 1500 to the Present

Imagining the Afterlife in the Ancient World

Imagining the Afterlife in the Ancient World

Human beings have speculated about whether or not there is life after death and if so what form that life might take for centuries. What did people in the ancient world think the next life would hold and did they imagine there was a chance for a relationship between the living and the dead? How did people in the ancient world keep their dead loved ones alive through memory and were they afraid the dead might return and haunt the living in another form? What sort of afterlife did the ancient Greeks and Romans imagine for themselves? This volume explores these questions and more. While individual representations of the afterlife have often been examined few studies have taken a more general view of ideas about the afterlife circulating in the ancient world. By drawing together current research from international scholars on archaeological evidence for afterlife belief chiefly from funerary sites together with studies of works of literature this volume provides a broader overview of ancient ideas about the afterlife than has so far been available. Imagining the Afterlife in the Ancient World explores these key questions through a series of wide-ranging studies taking in ghosts demons dreams cosmology and the mutilation of corpses along the way offering a valuable resource to those studying all aspects of death in the ancient world
