Consciousness as Fundamental: Why Awareness Cannot Be Reduced to Matter
Consciousness as Fundamental: Why Awareness Cannot Be Reduced to Matter Introduction: The Assumption Beneath All Assumptions Modern science begins with a quiet premise so familiar that it is rarely questioned: matter is primary, and consciousness somehow emerges from it.

The Mind–Body Problem, Scientific Regress and “Woo” – Scientific American (blog)
The Mind–Body Problem, Scientific Regress and “Woo” Curated Commentary The mind–body problem remains one of the most persistent and unresolved questions in science and philosophy: how subjective experience arises from—or relates to—the physical body.
