Shadows of the Mind: A Search for the Missing Science of Consciousness by Roger Penrose
$53.99
Secondhand paperback very good condition. Published by Oxford University Press, 1994. In Shadows of the Mind, Roger Penrose argues that human consciousness transcends computational processes, using Gödel's incompleteness theorem to challenge the idea that minds can be fully simulated by computers. He proposes that consciousness arises from non-computable physical processes in the brain, potentially involving quantum effects in microtubules as part of the Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) theory developed with Stuart Hameroff. The book explores quantum mechanics, physics, and biology to suggest a new science needed to explain the mind.Subjects: B009-B010, Books, Non Fiction, Physics, Quantum Physics

A: Each book is individually priced based on its current market value, condition, and availability. Most of our books are collectable, vintage, many are hard to find in the 'wild'. We use actual 'sold' prices as a benchmark (Trademe, Ebay & Dunbar Slone) We try to price below market average to encourage people to start to resell books as a side hustle! We love to do bulk deals, just drop us a message!
