Zen and the Art of Consciousness de Susan Blackmore
Fascinerend
This breaks down so many important concepts of quantum physics into easily digestible snippets. I definitely recommend as a starting point and reference for anyone interested in quantum theory. The pictures are a nice add but some of them do not really add to the understanding of the theory and I think some of them could have been a little more clear in what was trying to be shown
Great quick review of various definitions and theories of consciousness. Author came on a little strongly with her own views in the last few pages, but I happen to more or less agree with them. Would like to read a “not-quite-so-short” introduction with about the same style and level of difficulty but more in depth…
Some interesting stuff here, and some good writing, but lots of it seemed a bit hard to grasp. I liked her approach and the fact that she’s interested in consciousness on a philosophical level and a Zen level - but somehow the mixture just got muddled, in my mind at least.
