Tekst achterflap

As the title suggests this is a collection of individual but interconnected reflections concerning humans and their surroundings. The book starts with a consideration of human 'world views' - the way that humans conceive of themselves in relation to their surroundings. The reflections cover topics such as the relationship between awareness, experience and qualia, the nature of hearing, the phenomenon of memory, the perception of objects, thought and freedom, the location of sensations, character and personality, evolution, technology, and the relationship between science and faith.
