Consciousness and quantum mechanics are two great mysteries of our timeand recently scholars have postulated a deeper connection between them. Exploring this possible connection can be fruitful: an analysis of the conscious mind and psychophysical connection can be indispensable in understanding quantum mechanics and solving the notorious measurement problem, and there is also likely some kind of intimate connection between quantum mechanicsthe most fundamental theory of the physical worldand our efforts to explain, naturalistically, the phenomenon of consciousness.
The seventeen newly written chapters in this volume are divided into three sections: Consciousness and the Wave Function Collapse, Consciousness in Quantum Theories, and Quantum Approaches to Consciousness. This is the first volume to provide a comprehensive review and thorough analysis of intriguing conjectures about the connection between consciousness and quantum mechanics. Written by leading experts in physics, philosophy, and cognitive science,
will be of value to students and researchers working on the foundations of quantum mechanics and the philosophy of mind.
