Chapter 1Science, Consciousness and Human Values

Pages: 1 –10

[A tremendous burgeoning of interest in the problem of consciousness is now in progress. The grip of the behaviorists who sought to banish consciousness from science has finally been broken. This shift was ratified, for example, by the appearance several years ago of a special issue of Scientific...

Chapter 2Human Knowledge as the Foundation of Science

Pages: 11 –15

[In the introduction to his book Quantum Theory and Reality the philosopher of science Mario Bunge (1967, p. 4) said:]
LitStream

Chapter 3Actions, Knowledge, and Information

Pages: 17 –27

[From the time of Isaac Newton until about 1925 science relegated consciousness to the role of passive viewer: our thoughts, ideas, and feelings were treated as impotent bystanders to a march of events wholly controlled by microscopically describable interactions between mechanically behaving...

Chapter 4Nerve Terminals and the Need to Use Quantum Theory

Pages: 29 –32

[Many neuroscientists who study the relationship of consciousness to brain processes want to believe that classical physics will provide an adequate rational foundation for that task. But classical physics has bottom-up causation, and the direct rational basis for the claim that classical physics...

Chapter 5Templates for Action

Pages: 33 –34

[The feature of a brain state that tends to produce some specified experiential feedback can reasonably be expected to be a highly organized large-scale pattern of brain activity that, to be effective, must endure for a period of perhaps tens or hundreds of milliseconds. It must endure for an...

Chapter 6The Physical Effectiveness of Conscious Will and the Quantum Zeno Effect

Pages: 35 –39

[A crucial question now arises: How does this dynamical psycho-neurological connection via process 1, which can merely pose a question, but not answer it, allow a person’s effort to influence his or her physical actions?]
LitStream

Chapter 7Support from Contemporary Psychology

Pages: 41 –45

[A great deal has happened in psychology since the time of William James. However, many psychologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers who intended to stay in tune with the basic precepts of physics became locked to the ideas of nineteenth century physicists and failed to acknowledge or...
LitStream

Chapter 8Application to Neuropsychology

Pages: 47 –50

[The most direct evidence pertaining to the effects of conscious choices upon brain activities comes from experiments in which consciously controlled cognitive efforts are found to be empirically correlated to measured physical effects in the brain. An example is the experiment of Ochsner et al....

Chapter 9Roger Penrose’s Theory and Quantum Decoherence

Pages: 51 –53

[Increased interest in quantum mechanical theories of mind has been kindled by two recent books by Roger Penrose. These books, The Emperor’s New Mind, and Shadows of the Mind, along with a paper by Hameroff and Penrose (1996), propose a quantum theory of consciousness that, like the present one,...

Chapter 10Non-Orthodox Versions of Quantum Theory and the Need for Process 1

Pages: 55 –63

[Eugene Wigner introduced the term ‘orthodox’ to describe von Neumann’s formulation of quantum theory. I use the term more broadly to include, at the pragmatic level, also the Copenhagen formulation. But at the ontological level I mean the von Neumann—Tomonaga—Schwinger description that includes...
