Description:

How can there be sensory qualities - all that which gives meaning and value to life - if this world is really more or less as modern science tells us it is? This text proposes that physics describes only a selected aspect of all that exists - that aspect which determines the way events unfold.

Synopsis:

This book tackles the problem of how we can understand our human world embedded in the physical universe in such a way that justice is done both to the richness, meaning and value of human life on the one hand, and what modern science tells us about the physical universe on the other hand. It includes discussion of consciousness, free will and evolution.
