Mind: A Brief Introduction (Fundamentals of Philosophy)
by John R. Searle
http://tinyurl.com/4pekr

Editorial Reviews

The philosophy of mind is unique among contemporary
philosophical subjects, writes John Searle, "in that all
of the most famous and influential theories are false."
In Mind, Searle dismantles these famous and influential
theories as he presents a vividly written, comprehensive
introduction to the mind. Here readers will find one of
the world's most eminent thinkers shedding light on the
central concern of modern philosophy. Searle begins with
a look at the twelve problems of philosophy of mind--which
he calls "Descartes and Other Disasters"--problems which
he returns to throughout the volume, as he illuminates
such topics as the freedom of the will, the actual
operation of mental causation, the nature and functioning
of the unconscious, the analysis of perception, and the
concept of the self. One of the key chapters is on the
mind-body problem, which Searle analyzes brilliantly.
He argues that all forms of consciousness--from feeling
thirsty to wondering how to translate Mallarme--are caused
by the behavior of neurons and are realized in the brain
system, which is itself composed of neurons. But this does
not mean that consciousness is nothing but neuronal
behavior. The main point of having the concept of
consciousness, Searle points out, is to capture the first
person subjective features of the phenomenon and this
point is lost if we redefine consciousness in third person
objective terms. Described as a "dragonslayer by
temperament," John Searle offers here a refreshingly
direct and open discussion of philosophy, one that skewers
accepted wisdom even as it offers striking new insights
into the nature of consciousness and the mind.

General Introduction: The Riddle of Consciousness
Antti Revonsuo Matti Kamppinen University of Turku, Finland
Seppo Sajama University of Joensuu, Finland
WHAT IS CONSCIOUSNESS?
In a very profound sense, it is consciousness that makes
the difference between life and death or existence and
nonexistence. What does your whole life consist of but an
extended progression of lived conscious experiences? Your
stream of awareness started to flow sometime between the
womb and the cradle, perhaps with more or less chaotic
sensations filling your subjective world. Since then,
that world has evolved a lot--now you are surrounded by
a relatively coherent perceptual world consisting of
colorful, well-formed objects, animals, and people;
sounds located in this three-dimensional space, smells
in the air and tastes in your mouth, sensations of touch,
warmth, cold, pain, and pleasure on your skin and in your
body. In your mind, your inner voice almost endlessly
comments on your perceptions, intentions, and problems.
The stream of thought flows across the perceptual world:
"Aha, it looks like rain... they didn't predict it, though.
All right, let's move... do I have everything with me
now... keys, yes, wallet.. in the bag... oh yes, the
umbrella, I almost forgot...." Every now and then your
awareness becomes immersed in a daydream that might be
accompanied by intense visual and auditory imagery, thus
causing you to lose your sense of the actual surroundings.
At each moment you have a strong sense of the present,
that is the only thing directly accessible to
consciousness. The sorrows and joys of yesteryear are
long gone from the current experienced reality --at best
they can be re-experienced through the feeble memory
traces imprinted and buried somewhere inside your brain.
Nevertheless, most of the conscious experiences once
enjoyed by you have just vanished into thin air and are
forever out... [...]
Antti Revonsuo discusses five models of consciousness to
try to answer the ontological problem of consciousness.
He concludes that consciousness is a kind of organization
which can be used as part of a causal explanation, but
that it in turn can be explained by neurobiology.
In other words, consciousness should be conceived as one
level of the hierarchy in the natural world. [...]

Cassini-Huygens mission
http://www1.nasa.gov/lb/mission_pages/cassini/main/index.html
A strikingly bright feature that is consistent with an active geology
has been seen in one of Cassini's first radar images of Saturn's moon
Titan. There are many possibilities for what it is but one of the
leading candidates is that it may be a 'cryovolcanic' flow or
'ice volcano'. "It may be something that flowed," said Cassini radar
team member Dr. Ralph Lorenz of the University of Arizona, Tucson.
"Or it could be something carved by erosion. It's too early to say.
"But it looks very much like it's something that oozed across the
surface. It may be some sort of cryovolcanic flow, an analog to
volcanism on Earth that is not molten rock but, at Titan's very cold
temperatures, molten ice."
