Now in this brilliant and thoroughly accessible new book Colin McGinn takes a provocative position on this perplexing problem. Arguing that we can never truly \"know\" consciousness--that the human intellect is simply not equipped to unravel this mystery--he demonstrates that accepting this limitation in fact opens up a whole new field of investigation. In elegant prose, McGinn explores the implications of this Mysterian position--such as the new value it gives to the power of dreams and introspection--and challenges the reader with intriguing questions about the very nature of our minds and brains.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47781084594327,"sku":"9780465014231","price":2165.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780465014231.webp?v=1778050464","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-mysterious-flame-conscious-minds-in-a-material-world-9780465014231","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
