Consciousness and the Universe
April-May, 2011


Sir Roger Penrose, FRS,
University of Oxford
Stuart Hameroff M.D.
University of Arizona



Is consciousness an epiphenomenal happenstance of this particular universe? Or does the very concept of a universe depend upon its presence? Does consciousness merely perceive reality, or does reality depend upon it? Did consciousness simply emerge as an effect of evolution? Or was it, in some sense, always "out there" in the world? These questions and more, will be answered in this special edition.
