Conscious Clay: From Science Via Philosophy To Religion

By William Allison Shimer

Book Overview

Conscious Clay: From Science Via Philosophy To Religion is a philosophical and scientific exploration of the concept of consciousness and its relationship to the physical world. Written by William Allison Shimer, this book delves into questions about the nature of reality, the origins of consciousness, and the role of consciousness in shaping our understanding of the world around us.Shimer draws on a range of disciplines, including neuroscience, physics, and philosophy, to build a comprehensive and thought-provoking argument about the nature of consciousness. He explores the idea that consciousness is not simply a byproduct of physical processes, but rather an integral part of the fabric of the universe.The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the scientific basis for consciousness, including the role of the brain and the nervous system in creating our experience of the world. The second part delves into the philosophical implications of consciousness, including questions about free will, the nature of reality, and the relationship between mind and body. The third and final part of the book explores the role of consciousness in religion, including the idea that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the divine.Throughout the book, Shimer challenges readers to think deeply about the nature of consciousness and its relationship to the physical world. He argues that a deeper understanding of consciousness can lead to a more profound appreciation of the world around us, and can even help us to develop a more compassionate and empathetic worldview.Overall, Conscious Clay: From Science Via Philosophy To Religion is a fascinating and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the nature of consciousness and its relationship to the world around us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
