Real Materialism

In 'Real Materialism and Other Essays', Galen Strawson presents a comprehensive exploration of various philosophical themes, including the place of mind in the physical world, self-consciousness, and the concept of free will.

The book challenges conventional materialism by advocating for a form of realistic materialism that integrates experiential phenomena into a physical framework.

Strawson's essays offer a contrarian perspective on widely-held views in the philosophy of mind, encouraging readers to rethink fundamental assumptions about consciousness and reality.
