Can consciousness be fitted into a naturalistic worldview or is it inherently mysterious? In virtue of what does a physical organism come to have an inner conscious life? This book argues that we are not equipped to understand the workings of conciousness, despite its objective naturalness. Introspection does not reveal the hiddent structure of consciousness and it is this that joins experience to the material world.
"These essays provide a vivid introduction to current views in the philosophy of mind and to their immediate precursors ... an up-to-date, sophisticated and enjoyably tendentious account ... if you want to read somebody clever worrying about a problem that's worth somebody clever's worrying about, read The Problem of Consciousness."
