title: Consciousness Revisited: Materialism without Phenomenal Concepts (Representation and Mind series)
author:  Michael Tye 
description: "This marvelously informed, powerfully argued book is Michael Tye's latest contribution to the task of finding a naturalistic understanding of consciousness. It is an agenda setter."--Frank Jackson, Department of Philosophy, Princeton University<br /><br />"In opposing dualism, and defending the view that mind is a form of matter, modern materialists often substitute a dualism of their own--a dualism of concepts rather than properties. Tye has been a leading advocate of this materialist strategy, in his classic "Consciousness, Color, and Content" and elsewhere. "Consciousness Revisited" marks a radical intellectual break: Tye offers powerful arguments against his previous position, and a new way to defend materialism, leaning on Bertrand Russell's notion of knowledge by acquaintance. This book is terrific--the many admirers of the early Tye may be reassured that the later Tye is just as good."--Alex Byrne, Department of Philosophy, MIT and coeditor of "Disjunctivism"<br /><br />

  Bernardo Kastrup takes a bold and brilliant step in the collective
  movement of humanity beyond the confines of current materialism
  and everything that it entails. Truly speaking, alternative worldviews
  to the current paradigm of a material universe and associated
  ontologies, including various religious kinds, classical Newtonian
  physics, economic systems based on external consumption, etc., are
  easily dismissed as they don’t fit current modern societal values. Yet,
  these ontologies may be rapidly leading us to major problems,
  including perhaps the demise of current ‘Western’ societies. The
  hidden ontologies of an externa
