Not long ago, Parks suggested to his friend that they condense their exchanges \"into a series of focused dialogues to set out the standard positions on consciousness, and suggest some alternatives.\" Fifteen of the resultant conversations were edited by Parks and published in \u003cem\u003eThe New York Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e online--one of its most popular features ever.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow collected into one slim but thought-provoking volume, the dialogues reveal the profound scholarship of the two men. Their talks touch upon Aristotle and William James, the Higgs boson and Descartes, and include topics such as \"Where Are Words?\", \"The Body and Us\", \"The Reality of Dreams\", \"The Object of Consciousness\", and finally \"Consciousness: What Is It?\". For those of us searching for insight into some of life's most basic puzzles--how do we think? how do we perceive one another, and ourselves?--\u003cem\u003eDialogues on Consciousness\u003c\/em\u003e will take its place alongside other classics of philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTim Parks, novelist, essayist and translator, is the author of nineteen works of fiction, including Europa, shortlisted for the Booker.
