Vagueness and the Evolution of Consciousness: Through the Looking Glass
Oxford University Press (2021)
Abstract
The two dominant theories of consciousness argue it appeared in living beings either suddenly, or gradually. Both theories face problems. The solution is the realization that a foundational consciousness was always here, yet varying conscious states were not, and appeared gradually. Michael Tye explores this idea and the key questions it raises.Author's Profile
