Re: The irreducibility of consciousness

(I'm playing fast and loose with a lot of the vocabulary here: I'm not making a meaningful distinction between "mind" and "consciousness," nor between "the physical" and "matter." Roughly I'm using the former to mean "that which, in particular modes, perc...
