What’s Inside the Book?

Imagine if Galileo, the famous astronomer, took a detour into the world of the mind. Philip Goff brings a similar revolutionary spirit to the study of consciousness.

Goff suggests that consciousness might be a fundamental feature of the universe, just like space and time. 🧠✨
