Derk Pereboom is Professor of Philosophy, Cornell University
"Consciousness and the Prospects of Physicalism is an ambitious,
often subtle,
approach to the contemporary debate over the status of physicalism.
It merits careful
attention, and will have to be grappled with both by those who
contend that physicalism
is false as well as those who think that any physicalism has to be
of a reductive variety. It
advances the debate in a compelling and original way, and will be
of interest to anyone
working on the issues that Pereboom discusses."--Kevin Morris,
Philosophy in Review
"I see this as a very good book in many ways. Probably, because new
proposals are advanced therein, the material in chapters 1-4 and
7-8 is the most noteworthy." --Notre Dame Philosophical Review
