Mind, Brain, and the Quantum: The Compound 'I'

by Michael Lockwood

The author, (philosophy, Oxford U.) speaks to a fairly general (albeit sophisticated) audience, presupposing no previous acquaintance with philosophy, neuroscience, or physics. Rooting his discussion in the latest thinking about quantum mechanics and in some previously neglected ideas of Bertrand Russell, he develops a theory of the relation between mind and body and what he believes to be the correct way to understand quantum mechanics.
