This new updated edition includes a foreword by Bishop John Shelby Spong and an afterword from the author.

Panpsychism is the philosophical view that consciousness, mentality, or 'mindedness' in some form is fundamental in the universe. The idea has existed for centuries, but only recently has it had a serious resurgence. Galen Strawson has been on the front line of the battlefield on the topic of panpsychism since the 1990s. His paper on ‘realistic monism’, contained in this volume and originally published in 2006, is now considered something of a classic and a catalyst for panpsychism’s recent revival. This long overdue new edition of the book gives the original commentators, where they feel they have something more to add, an opportunity to update their thinking on the topic of panpsychism in general and Strawson’s realistic monism in particular. Seven new postscripts are included, which aim to enhance the original collection and push the discussion onwards. Eighteen years have passed since the first edition of this groundbreaking volume, and Strawson remains a distinctive and important voice in the field — the new edition is a must-read for all who are interested in consciousness studies.

An exciting introduction to consciousness research and its applications to our waking and sleeping moments. Once the domain of philosophers, the study of consciousness is now an exciting branch of science. Author Anthony Freeman, managing editor of the Journal of Consciousness Studies, opens Consciousness with a history of mind study, from the ancient Greeks to the present, and provides a multidisciplinary review of cognitive science. Freeman untangles the conflicting theories on the working of the brain, analyzing the techniques developed for its study over the years. "Seeing" v. "believing," mind/body connections, zombies, and assembly line robots are just the beginning. Even chaos theory and quantum physics are relevant, with opposing approaches inciting disciplinary battles. This illustrated and accessible volume introduces key researchers like Wilder Penfield, who talked with his conscious sister while operating on her brain tumor.

"Included in this story are the overlapping histories of other California Potteries owned by Gerald McFarlin prior to his partnership with Maynard Anthony Freeman, including Tudor Pottery, Rio Hondo and McFarlin Potteries. The early years are defined by cute miniature animals and plain-looking pottery. One the partnership flourished, the animals and tableware became larger, bolder and much more innovative."--Back cover.
This text reasserts an understanding of and belief in an obejective God. At a time when post-modern assumptions are being made which challenge the integrity of a real God, this text offers the opportunity to explore new ways of thinking about God's relations to the world whilst avoiding more traditional images which often carry oppressive connotations. The author recognizes the need for contemporary Christians to colour God in their own way through their own interpretation of the Church's teaching, and argues that it is a real God who reveals himself and continues to unify Christian belief.
