Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This edited volume examines aspects of the mind/consciousness that are relevant to the interpretations of quantum mechanics. In it, an international group of contributors focus on the possible connections between quantum mechanics and consciousness. They look at how consciousness can help us with quantum mechanics aswell as how quantum mechanics can contribute to our understanding of consciousness. For example, what do different interpretations aimed at solving the measurement problem in quantummechanics tell us about the nature of consciousness, such as von Neumann's interpretation Each interpretation has, associated to it, a corresponding metaphysical framework that helps us thinkabout possible 'models' of consciousness. Alternatively, what does the nature of consciousness tell us about the role of the observer and time reversibility in the measurement process The book features 20 papers on contemporary approaches to quanta and mind. It brings together thework of scholars from different disciplines with diverse views on theconnections between quanta and mind, ranging from those who are supportive of a link between consciousness and quantum physics to those who are very skeptical of such link. Coverage includes such topics as free will in a quantum world, contextuality and causality, mind and matter interaction, quantum panpsychism, the quantum and quantum-like brain,and the role of time in brain-mind dynamics.…
