Description:We are composed of the same atoms as the rocks, soil, mountains and nothing more. They are apparently aware of nothing, whereas we are aware of the physical world, ourselves and much more besides. How is this possible?Science says minds emerge from wholly unknowing matter. The idea that mind and matter are, in fact, one and the same has long been considered an elegant, although impractical answer to the question above.This book argues that we live in an intelligent, decision-making universe, and that our consciousness grows from an intelligence present throughout nature. Unlike most philosophy works, it gives the non-human world its proper status, describing recent studies into animal cognition and the sophisticated behaviours of some non-animal life.It shows that the reason mind in nature is seen as an eccentric or mystical notion, is because Western culture has wrongly elevated humans above all other species. As Charles Darwin once wrote: "He who understands baboon would do more towards metaphysics than Locke."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
