Book Synopsis
John Perry revisits the cast of characters of his classic A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality in this absorbing dialogue on consciousness.

Cartesian dualism, property dualism, materialism, the problem of other minds . . . Gretchen Weirob and her friends tackle these topics and more in a dialogue that exemplifies the subtleties and intricacies of philosophical reflection. Once again, Perry’s ability to use straightforward language to discuss complex issues combines with his mastery of the dialogue form.

A Bibliography lists relevant further readings keyed to topics discussed in the dialogue. A helpful Glossary provides a handy reference to terms used in the dialogue and an array of clarifying examples.

Trade Review
"Penetrating without being overwhelming, [Dialogue on Consciousness] informs and engages the student both at once. As it deftly uncovers the complexities besetting the meaning of human consciousness, it does ample justice to the current scholarly discussion. It is an unquestionably indispensable instructional tool. Indeed, the splendid glossary and judicious reading list taken alone more than justify the modest price of admission."
—George Pollack, Fairleigh Dickinson University
